Lukas Poost grew up in the small town of Wyalusing, Pennsylvania. Sparked by his star turn as Deputy Dan in his kindergarten production of Deputy Dan and the Scrambled Eggs Gang, he went through childhood with an ongoing and ever-growing romance with "living room show business." He and his five siblings put together countless plays, puppet shows, short films (written and improvised) and late night talk shows.
Lukas went on to study Acting and Musical Theatre at the Brind School at the University of the Arts in Philadephia. There he studied various acting and voice techniques including Meisner, Stanislavski, Williamson, Linklater, Skinner and more.
Not long after graduation Lukas dove headfirst into the professional world starring in the National Tour of Broadway's Shrek the Musical as the big green ogre himself, Shrek. The following summer, Shrek and Lukas went "ogre-seas" playing sold out runs in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Shanghai, China!
Since Shrek, Lukas has played in and around the US including several stints Off-Broadway in the original casts of Unlock'd, a new musical by Carner and Gregor, and Black Hole Wedding.
Lukas appears on the demo recordings of The Art Tour and The Outcast of Sherwood Forest.
In addition to acting, Lukas enjoys the outdoors- hiking, camping, swimming, especially in the midcoast region of Maine.
Lukas currently lives in New York City.
