Greetings! From The Sweetest Place On Earth!

Hello All!

My name is Spencer, and I’m the new guy here at The Green Room. I’ve been working in the Industry my entire life, but I wasn’t always a Lighting Tech. I started out as an actor (as many of us Technicians did) and eventually worked my way over to the Technical side of the stage. Once I started lighting work, I never looked back because it gave me an opportunity to look at the world in a different way. It really gave me a creative outlet, and I ended up having knack for lights.

While I do traditional theatre while I’m in school and at Local Theatres, most of my experience lies in the world of Amusement Park Entertainment, work of a very different nature than normal plays and musicals. Rather than doing one show a night, I am in charge of running 5 shows a day, each lasting about 30 minutes. These can range from regular song and dance concerts, to educational shows about the wonders of Recycling! Before going off to college, I used to be a technician for SeaWorld for about 2 years, and currently, I am acting as the Master Electrician for Hersheypark, located in Hershey, PA, AKA “The Sweetest Place on Earth”. Normally, I reside in Texas, where I attend school to get my Degree in Tech Theatre, and hopefully I will go on to own a design company.

I have plenty of fun stories from the stage, as well as a plethora of opinions on almost all things technical, so feel free to ask any questions, and I’ll feel free to ask questions of you!
