The hopeful romantic and son of Alice & Mal, Lucas has fallen in love with Wednesday and intends to marry her. He is optimistic and hopeful yet struggles to find the balance between his ‘normal’ family and the macabre Addams. Strong singer.
SIDES

ALICE BEINECKE: 35-55, Vocal Range Ab3-G#5

SIDES

MAL BEINECKE: 35-55, Vocal Range C3-A4
The uptight and father of Lucas and cold-shouldered husband to Alice, cynical Mal meets the Addams with skepticism. He finds the Addams to be too bizarre for his liking and cannot fathom being related to them.

Evil Dead the Musical! - 2015

Wolfbane Productions prides itself on consistently bridging the theatre worlds of New York City and Appomattox, Virginia.  Over the past 16 years we've welcomed actors to the Pack from all over the country. We've been thrilled to work with Broadway, television, film & national-tour veterans, introducing them to Virginia's breath-taking natural beauty and to the thriving community of Wolfbane audiences: some of the most lively and passionate audiences you'll find anywhere in modern theatre. 

Wolfbane is also proud to have been the gateway, for over a dozen artists from our Virginia base, to make the transition to New York City via connections made with the Wolfbane family. 

We are inspired by this tradition of blending our NYC and VA homes as we continue to cast from auditions held in both states, as well as allowing for video submissions for those who are unable to attend.

Guys and Dolls, 2020

testimonials

"Wolfbane is the most extraordinary company I have ever had the privilege to work for.

Every company member is dedicated to bold and thoughtful choices that serve their partners, the production, and ultimately the audience.

I am better for having worked with the pack.”  

- Jonathan Grunert, NYC Actor

“Wolfbane is, quite simply, impossible.

It is by all practical measures and sheer statistical probability RIDICULOUS that a theatre company would arise out of this particular part of our country, and even more of a triumph that it be one doing the kind of work that Wolfbane does.

Wolfbane and its entire pack are an inspiration.”

—Trevor Kluckman, NYC Actor

“Every Wolfbane production I've been in has challenged me and pushed me farther than I could have ever imagined,

resulting in some of my proudest work on stage in my 25+ years of performing.

And the opportunity to be involved in outdoor theatre with shows performed in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains is something every actor should have to chance to do.

The passion for it is what drives me and keeps me coming back to this family that is the Wolfpack.

And I think I am a better actor for having been brought into the fold.”

Libby Gatzke, VA Actor

“You guys are all amazing. It was awesome to have such a big part in a production that was so ambitious.

It made me so happy to positively contribute to Dustin's one of a kind vision.


All the company members are the real deal. Not only really hardworking and talented performers but really approachable.

Midsummer was the type of experience that makes me sad to think about because

I don't know if I will ever have a performance experience that unique again.”

Tom McVey, NYC Actor-AEA
