MOONRISE

A blank stage. A new world brought to life before our eyes. For 13 years, the light has been taken away as an evil king rules the land. A prophesy foretells of a brave hero with the power to bring back light to the kingdom. Everything changes when a young boy and girl realize they may be a part of this prophesy. What follows is a magical journey through grief, love, growing up, and finding the light in the darkest of circumstances.

Spencer's first venture as a writer, MOONRISE has been in development for almost 3 years. After having its first reading in January of 2022, a 30 minute condensed version of Act One was presented at Shenandoah Conservatory during their ShenCoLAB week. Following this presentation, music from the show was presented in a cabaret entitled, PULLING BACK THE CURTAIN: MOONRISE IN CONCERT, an event aimed at earning money for a fully-funded production. Then, in May of 2022, MOONRISE received its World Premier  in a fully funded, student-run, production through Shenandoah Conservatory. Now, MOONRISE is in the developing phase eyeing it's next production!
