ABOUT
My name is Lucas Arab, and I am a scenic designer.
I consider myself to be a "professional make-believer" with the goal of creating immersive and visually intriguing storytelling spaces for all. My work is focused in collaboration and imagination, and I believe that strong design has the ability to change the world. I hold a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Stage Design and Technical Theatre. I am a Canadian designer based in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
When I am not designing for the stage, I work at Neptune Theatre School, creating and overseeing programs that directly engage youth in theatre. I am also a Regional Producer of the Canadian Improv Games.
MY LATEST SET TOUR
INITIATING EDUCATION
'YPCrew' has been a long-term initiative that I recently brought to life at Neptune Theatre. Branching off of YPCo (Neptune's Youth Performance Company), YPCrew is the first ever behind-the-scenes program of its kind in Nova Scotia at its scale. The program is growing in 2027 to become part of our professionally staged YPCo productions.
I am also the Prague Quadrennial Design Mentor for Dalhousie University, as well as a frequent workshop instructor with high school students, teachers, and drama festivals in behind-the-scenes education for school productions.
