Tackling his experiences with sexuality and Mormonism, drug use and abuse, and a marriage and 30-year acting career often left hanging in the balance, Spencer Aste's solo show tears apart the current trend of “living your best life” and exposes the harsh truths and difficult realities that come with “owning the life you’ve lived.”


Riveting, humorous, and earnest, WAKE UP is a play about choices and consequences - and occasionally, choices that were never choices at all. 


When your life pulls you under, what will it take for you to WAKE UP?

Author / Actor

Writing this show has been a labor of love and self-discovery, and a chance to build something beautiful with my loved ones, where I may have torn things down before. It conveys the message that it’s okay to be a real f**k-up in your life, and to let people know. It’s okay to talk about your spectacular failures and to accept them and their consequences, because when you do, truly amazing things can happen. It’s also okay to be different and not ‘fit in’. Embrace it!
