ABOUT
My name is Lucas Arab, and I am 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 the Regional Producer of the Canadian Improv Games in Nova Scotia.
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 theatre design and behind-the-scenes themed 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.
In addition to my work at Neptune, I host workshops with high school students, teachers, and drama festivals in behind-the-scenes education for school productions.
