Tony Award®-Winning Producer
Lucas Katler is a Tony Award®-winning producer who develops innovative theater projects.
He's based in Brooklyn.
Originally from South Florida (but don’t hold it against him), Lucas moved to New York in 2017 to work in the William Morris Endeavor mailroom. Lucas then worked for WME agent Susan Weaving before joining Barbara Whitman
Productions as her Producing Associate, where he worked on projects in development, including A STRANGE LOOP (Best New Musical Tony).
He then went on to work for Scott Rudin Productions, and, while
there, Lucas produced SLAVE PLAY, his first show on Broadway.
Lucas now develops and produces a wide range of creative projects ranging from Broadway-bound musicals to one-person touring shows. He loves satire and well-crafted frivolity. Along with his producing partners Max Hunter and Jesse Singer, Lucas is working to build The Empyrean Club, an innovative new commercial theater space in Brooklyn.
More on that soon.
Lucas completed the Commercial Theater Institute's 14-Week Producing Intensive, sits on the Arts Advisory Council for Pace University, and is a proud alumnus of Dartmouth College, which wrote a very nice article about him in their alumni magazine and an even nicer one a few years later. He was also recently featured on the Creative Risk podcast and Bloomberg's Business Big Take podcast, where he talked about the state of and future of Broadway and commercial Off-Broadway theater.
Lucas’s friends—which you’re well on your way to becoming if you’re not already—call him Luke.
