Spencer's Story
Been a writer and producer in New York, London and LA since I graduated from Columbia in 1971. Mostly theater, film and television.
In the 70s I produced "Bubbling Brown Sugar" in London and Paris, "Peter Pan" on Broadway, and "The Robber Bridegroom" for Showtime.
In the 80s I mounted several shows off-Broadway, two movies for Troma, and two TV films for Robert Altman. I also spent three years of my life trying to make the movie version of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" with Hunter Thompson and Ralph Steadman. I should make a film about those three years.

In the 90s I cranked up an on-going career as a movie ghostwriter. You've probably seen several of these films at your local multiplex. Hope you enjoyed them. I just can't tell you what they were!
Lately I helped produce a very funny weed picture called "Grow House" which opened 4/20/17 with Snoop Dogg. Shooting another one called "Ma...Expand for more
gic Carpet Ride" now scheduled to start shooting late 2017 or early 2018.
Right now most of my time is spent preparing a big Nikola Tesla musical that opens on Broadway late 2018 or early 2019. I have my hands full as both lead producer and bookwriter. No rest for the wicked.
Remember when "The Lion King" opened 20 years ago and changed the look of Broadway forever? I think "Tesla" will do the same. With state-of-the-art special effects (holograms, levitations, huge Tesla Coils and lightening bolts careening around the theater), this David and Goliath story (Tesla vrs Wall St and Washington) is truly going to be "The First 21st Century Musical".
Sure hope to see my old friends in September. I have six years of wonderful memories from Franklin, Elm St, and Roosevelt. I still can't believe how fast Sarah Potter lost her accent when she arrived from England in the 2nd grade.
