"A Night With the Neugents"
Spear published his collection of photographs in the book "The Neugents: Close to Home" in 1993. That collection is the inspiration for a live production called "A Night With the Neugents," which uses Spear's photos as inspiration for original stories, written and performed by North Carolinians.
