Son of Semele Ensemble is a collective of theatre professionals that recognizes emerging cultural questions through the production of new or under-exposed plays. We produce intimate theatre to provoke an awakening within our audience and ourselves.
Son of Semele Ensemble (SOSE) began its work in 2000 when founding Artistic Director Matthew McCray brought together 11 of his colleagues to produce his original play Earthlings. The troupe named itself Son of Semele Ensemble, a reference to Dionysus (the patron Greek god of theatre). Since that time, the ensemble has expanded from the 11 founding members to 25, some having worked together for as long as a decade. SOSE�s repertoire of productions includes World, National, West Coast and Los Angeles premieres written by a wide range of playwrights, from avant-garde artist Richard Foreman to contemporary Tony Award-winner Richard Greenberg.
