Lucas Kane is a Brooklyn-based theater and filmmaker whose work spans experimental documentary and community-engaged theater. Since early 2024, he has worked as an assistant director to André Gregory and Wallace Shawn on their latest collaboration which will preimere in 2026. Previously, he assisted Peter Brook on his final two plays, Why? and La Tempête. And most recently, he assissted John Cameron Mitchell on his new play developed at Playwright Horizons.
Drawing from these experiences, Kane creates theater and film projects that foster political dialogue and community engagement.

His films have been screened at FIDMarseille, Anthology Film Archives, Encuentros Con El Otro Cine, Mimesis Documentary Festival, Microscope Gallery, Visual Studies Workshop, among others.
