I've Got a SecretI've Got a Secret is a performance series co-devised with performer and poet Jamie Agnello. Glenn and Agnello develop episodes of what they call a tragedy game show. They investigate real life mysteries, putting themselves through bizarre and impossible tasks in order to break through to the subconscious and get fresh answers to old questions.
The first episode premiered at Dixon Place and centered on the 2009 Taconic State Parkway Tragedy. Episodes in development involve Rosemary and Ted Kennedy, Amanda Knox, and other enigmas. These two wackos also work on commission to solve your personal curiosities. Video samples available upon request. |

HOW TO NOT GET TURNED INTO A TREE (a global warning)
"We can be awfully hard on ourselves, can't we?"
--Bill Brady, HOW TO NOT GET TURNED INTO A TREE This solo performance follows four characters as they try to find their way to decency in a sea of change. Developed at Sarah Lawrence College under the guidance of Dan Hurlin, this play had several workshops in the summer of 2013. Daniel Glenn plays a motivational speaker who believes Ovid's Metamorphoses has all the answers, a Tea Party treasurer with a penchant for arts and crafts, a disgruntled teenage girl looking for a room of her own, and a stuttering bibliophile who believes in miracles. The surprising ways these lives crash into each other and then spin apart is matched by the inventive physicality of the performance, based on methods learned while in residence with Heather Woodbury. The show is a structured improvisation, with an electric sense of the present moment and up-to-the-minute references to our ever-changing contemporary calamities. Praise from TREE audiences: "The perfect balance of humor and trauma...evoked a visceral reaction." --Michelle F. "Thought-provoking...a stunning performance." --Susan C. "Relentless...you will spend days sorting it all out." --Kathleen H. See a teaser below. 70 minutes. |

Portraits of People I've Never Slept With No maidenheads were harmed in the creation of this piece. As research, for twenty-nine long years, Daniel Glenn has not slept with billions of people, including Margaret Thatcher and his father. His unflinching examination of this asexual history, which includes song, dance and Play-Doh, gets to the heart of what we talk about when we talk about love. Some blurbs from people he's never slept with (so they must be true): "Brilliant! Every part made me laugh or feel like crying." --Amanda M. "Truly amazing, can't stop thinking about it, I mean, damn." --Elizabeth T. |

My Date With Troy Davis
"The engaging Daniel Glenn considers such philosophical concerns as comparative moralities and the worth of human life with flair."
--Backstage.com This monologue follows one man's unlikely journey into the depths of this case, which also happens to take him to the Supreme Court, the slums of India, and the top of the ivory tower. Along the way, it becomes clear that this moment of American history suffers from not too much doubt, but too much truth. Yet, in the moments before a death, we come in this story to a realization that gives the victory to life. NYtheatre.com says: "I love this show." It is "painfully, hilariously honest...Glenn is an energetic, expressive performer, [and] funny as hell." He "explores the complex elements of a murder case" and we the audience "find our own goodness along the way." 1 M; 80 minutes. |
