Son of Semele

https://www.sonofsemele.com We believe the impact of a theatrical experience should resonate beyond the theater door.

As an ensemble of artists, we integrate complex design and performance, producing theatre that embraces the friction between emotion and intellect. Through a process of discovery, collaboration and creative risk-taking, we illuminate and amplify universal questions. To that end, we make an earnest commitment to the artistic sustainability of the greater community.
