Since graduating from the National Theatre School in 1998, Lucas has performed in many of the major theatres across Canada and toured internationally to Europe, Central America and Asia. In 2007, he returned to Nelson, BC to raise a family and form PilotcoPilot Theatre with a mandate to create work which is accessible, thought-provoking, and highly theatrical in an effort to attract a new generation of theatregoers. In 2013 he was appointed as Nelson’s Cultural Ambassador in recognition of his achievements in Theatre Arts. Lucas was, himself, a Follies cast member in 1990 and 1991, and has been the director for the Follies since 2018.
