When Son of Semele was founded in November of 2000, there were only 11 of us. One of those 11 founding members, Nicholas Avila, was accepted a few years ago into the Directing program at the Yale School of Drama. Now in his final year, Nick finds himself directing his thesis production, Tom Stoppard's The Real Thing. It is always exciting when a fellow SOSE member books a big job or makes a big stride in their career. Getting into Yale was a huge step for Nick and completing his thesis production is another one. Way to go Nick. For more on his production, click here.
