Davies also played the lead in such plays as "Hamlet", "Macbeth", "The Taming of the Shrew" and "Cyrano de Bergerac" at Thad Taylor's Globe Playhouse. He co-starred with Matthew Faison in a revival of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead by Tom Stoppard, playing Rosencrantz. He has directed multiple productions of "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Davies co-founded the Santa Susana Repertory Company in Thousand Oaks, California as well as the Kingsmen Shakespeare Company in cooperation with California Lutheran University. Kingsmen Shakespeare Company was listed, in 2004, as a Major Festival in the book "Shakespeare Festivals Around the World" by Marcus D. Gregio (Editor). In 2007–2008, Davies founded the Tennessee Shakespeare Festival in Bell Buckle, TN, as a professional summer company. Its first production was Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (one of Davies' favorites) set in Athens, GA, instead of Athens, Greece. Lane is now involved in many productions in Middle Tennessee, including multiple performances with the Tennessee Repertory Theater in Nashville.
