Following his graduation, Lukas was part of the world premiere cast of Lady Bess by Michael Kunze and Sylvester Levay at Theater St. Gallen, Switzerland, where he created the role of Philipp von Spanien (Philipp of Spain). He went on to play Gabe in Next To Normal at Bühnen Bern, also in Switzerland.
