When I first moved back to Los Angeles in 2008, the height of the recession, I was looking for an artistic home to build my craft as a writer, performer and thought leader. Without Son of Semele, I would not have been able to start my life in the theatre, and I make work boldly, bravely, and freely now because of their foresight and generosity.
