Gish had appeared on stage intermittently while doing films with Griffith. Throughout the 1930s, she focused on her theatrical career and some radio appearances. Much of her work was critically acclaimed. She appeared in a Broadway production of Uncle Vanya in 1930, and of Camille in 1932. In 1936, she played Ophelia in Hamlet. In addition to national tours of certain plays, Gish appeared in the long-running comedy Life with Father on Broadway in 1939, and in Chicago for a 66 week run in 1941-42.

The Tennyson Society recently utilized a movie still of Lillian for the cover of their annual research bulletin. The image shows her as Annie Lee in the 1915 film Enoch Arden, and comes from the British Film Institute collection. Located in Lincoln, England, The Tennyson Society encourages the study of the poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson in an effort to keep his work alive in contemporary culture.
