No Laughing Matter!
Spencer Locke received some great news from the WB last week! She’s been chosen to star in Camryn Manheim’s new WB comedy series (which is so new it has yet to be named!). Golden Globe award winner, Camryn Manheim (The Practice & The L Word), will be starring in the series as an eccentric, financially challenged, single mother of three. Spencer will be playing the oldest daughter, Crosby, who is obsessed with “name brand” clothes. The storyline revolves around the family’s relocation into a new, upscale neighborhood that is overrun with trendy soccer moms. Spencer was very excited to get to read with Camryn and the producer during her audition. Her first day of shooting was on April 18th, in front of a live audience, and Spencer loved every minute of it! We’re so proud of you, Spencer!

Words of Wisdom from
School President, Debbie Wisner
“Enthusiasm is more important than any other commodity. It will find solutions when none are apparent, and it will achieve success where none is thought possible.”
