Born from the legacy of Son of Semele, Semele Projects is a platform for daring artists, volatile ideas, and stories that ask the room to lean forward.
For more than two decades, Son of Semele Ensemble carved out a space in Los Angeles for theatre that was intellectually alive, formally adventurous, and unafraid of difficult questions.
Today, that spirit continues as Semele Projects, a new creative platform built for a changing artistic world. Rather than being defined by seasonal programming, Semele Projects moves through collaboration, partnership, and project-driven storytelling.
This evolution allows the company to carry forward its legacy while opening wider doors for new voices, unexpected forms, and bold contemporary work that meets the urgency of now.
Each collaboration begins with the needs of the work. We shape the process around the idea, building flexible structures for development, production, and presentation.
We welcome directors, writers, performers, designers, producers, and interdisciplinary artists who are pursuing bold, contemporary performance.
Semele Projects works with theatres, cultural organizations, schools, venues, and community partners to bring ambitious projects into shared public space.
Our platform is designed to amplify distinct perspectives, experimental approaches, and work that challenges how theatre can look, feel, and function.
Attend a performance, follow a project in development, or join the conversation around the ideas taking shape now. Every audience member becomes part of the living exchange that makes the work possible.
Bring a project, partnership, venue, or artistic idea into dialogue with Semele Projects. We welcome collaborators who are ready to explore bold questions, new forms, and work that needs room to become possible.
