Visiting Assistant Professor of Theatre Arts – Directing and Musical Theatre. Spencer is an actor, director, and educator originally from the High Desert of Oregon.

His training includes choral performance with a specialization in Early Music, opera performance, Theatre for Young Audiences, Stanislavski-based techniques through The Group Theatre, Fitzmaurice Voicework, Knight-Thompson Speechwork, Viewpoints, clowning, and accent work.
