Spencer Parli Tew, a 2010 graduate of North Central High School, spent his formative years immersed in the Choir and Theatre departments. His time at North Central was pivotal, igniting a lifelong passion for the arts and introducing him to his wife and great love, Ryann Elyse. Spencer carried that passion forward to Boston University, where he earned a BFA in Theatre Arts.  After college, Spencer became an integral part of the Brown Box Theatre Project (based in Boston, Shakespeare focused), starring in many plays as well as helping run the project. The Brown Box Theatre Project’s mission was to bring the theatre to underserved communities so those communities could have access to high quality productions. After his cancer diagnosis, the project closed. Spencer turned his attention to music and he completed an album https://www.spencerparlitew.com.

This program was transformative for Spencer; your contribution helps preserve this creative sanctuary for future students. Thank you for honoring Spencer’s legacy and helping North Central nurture the next generation of artists and leaders.
