Biography + Socials
Spencer Byham-Carson is a Pittsburgh-based writer and theatre artist with nearly a decade of educational and professional experience. His work spans a range of concepts, from explorations of gendered politics to 20th- and 21st-century absurdist writing. His goal is to stage the 'unstageable'.
Spencer has written and directed plays on subjects ranging from male insecurity and the middle managerial class to robots and internet trends such as looksmaxing and influencer families. He is currently writing a collection of short stories about a potentially staged—or potentially real—plane crash at a football game. His writing often focuses on what people choose to believe in: conspiracies, religion, sports betting, and politics.
After graduating from Carnegie Mellon’s School of Drama, Spencer co-founded New Product Company (NPC) with friend and classmate Pria Dahiya. NPC is a Pittsburgh-based experimental theater group focused on exploring post-digital culture and developing boundary-pushing new work from the perspective of an internet-addled generation.
