Hello!
As you can also read to your right ("About Me") I was writing in Pittsburgh, 2001-2013, for City Paper, Pittsburgh Magazine, WQED-FM’s Arts Magazine, Pulp, The Front Weekly and for my own blog, “Gordon Spencer On WRCT.” (Still accessible on-line.) Much of that was about theatre especially as a reviewer/critic.

Much of that was about theatre especially as a reviewer/critic.
From 1991 to 2001 in Milwaukee I was the theatre review/critic for Shepherd Express and wrote for Milwaukee Magazine and Milwaukee Footlights.
During those years I hosted radio programs presenting
classical music and jazz, as I had done before in Albuquerque and New
York. And was a radio news
reporter/anchor in Albuquerque.
Settling in Omaha in September 2013, I’ve been hosting a
weekly jazz radio program on KIOS-FM (Fridays 1 to 3pm) and have written for The Reader.
I’ve found Omaha’s theatre scene lively and impressive, even
though there are no regular Equity groups and no companies have regular
ensembles. Clearly, there is a core of capable and experienced Omaha performers,
some of whom are Equity members.
As for my other background, I had significant roles in community theatre productions in Pittsburgh, and appeared on stage twice in Albuquerque in the 1980s. And from 1958 to 1966 was a professional actor in New York, off-Broadway, in summer stock, on radio, in films, on TV and in traveling marionette shows.
Should you be interested, you can read about that and more at my blogged memoir “Station Breaks by Gordon Spencer."
