The Portal Presents Glenda Garrison

Friday, October 23

7pm

TSA Black Box Studio

Glenda brings audiences into her world with humorous personal narratives and sharp observations about everyday life. She’s performed on The Moth stage, headlined at Second City Chicago, and loves any crowd willing to laugh along as she turns ordinary moments into unforgettable stories.

For over two decades, Glenda was a librarian, though she has spent the last ten years as the Development Director at West Side Montessori. She’s a devoted reader (two book clubs, plenty of wine), a Senior Olympics shot‑putter who placed 9th in the nation, and a proud mom of three fantastic adult kiddos scattered across the country.

Whether she’s recounting a chaotic day, a heartfelt memory, or a perfectly ridiculous mishap, Glenda’s mission is simple: find the funny and share the joy.
