Glenn Marla (performer/writer/creative arts therapist) is a Brooklyn-based performance artist, gender queer superstar and beauty pageant queen (Miss LES 2006 and the reigning Mr. Coney Island). The Portland Phoenix calls Glenn Marla’s work, “performance art that pushes the envelope without pushing the audience away,” Time Out New York Calls Glenn a “downtown prophet” and The New York Times calls Glenn “an obese transvestite in tights.” Glenn Marla is a firm believer that if you don’t fit in anywhere you can fit in everywhere. Last spring Glenn finished a graduate program in Art Therapy and Creativity Development and is thrilled to be back on the stages of New York City.
