“LE SWITCH” in Los Angeles!
Spenser made his West Coast directorial debut with the first-ever L.A. production of Philip Dawkins’ LE SWITCH - and it received across-the-board raves! This “ingeniously staged” (Stage Scene LA) rom-com starred Danny Bernardo alongside Christine Lin (Broadway’s Chinglish), Brian Kim McCormick (Musical Theatre West’s Sound of Music), Jonathan Moreno of The Band Joey, and Jonathan Slavin (TV’s Dr Ken, Better Off Ted, St. Denis Medical).
GHOST ARMY Workshop goes gangbusters!
Spenser is the Book Writer of a brand-new musical called GHOST ARMY, based on the unbelievably true story of a unit of artists who were brought together during World War II to deceive the Nazis using their God-given artistry. He, along with songwriters Sarah Mangum and Danny Wirick, produced a workshop of the show’s first act for an invite-only audience in Central Hollywood — and the response was electric! Already hard at work on revisions, they’re also beginning their search for producing partners on what is sure to be a thrilling project.
Winner of Best Writing in a Comedy!
Spenser’s debut short film as a writer-director, I’M PRETTY SURE MY THERAPIST THINKS I’M A BAD ACTOR, received this fantastic award at the incredible Oscar-qualifying Micheaux Film Festival. It also won Best Comedy Short at Atlanta’s FunnyAF Festival and recently ended its festival run at the homegrown Midwest Film Festival.
A 2nd commission from South Coast Rep!
He previously received their Elizabeth George Commission to write A MILLION TINY PIECES, a fast-flying comedy that has since been developed at both the Pacific Playwrights Festival and the Colorado New Play Fest.
