Lucas Kane is a Brooklyn-based theater and film director. Since early 2024, he has served as assistant director to André Gregory and Wallace Shawn on their latest collaboration, which is currently playing at the Greenwhich House Theater in NYC. Prior to that, he assisted Peter Brook on his final two plays, Why? and La Tempête, and John Cameron Mitchell on his newest play, currently in development at Playwrights Horizons.
Drawing from these experiences, Kane creates theater and film projects that foster political dialogue and community engagement.

His films have been screened at New York Film Festival, FIDMarseille, Anthology Film Archives, Porto/Post/Doc, La Clef, Visual Studies Workshop, Microscope Gallery and many others.
