A transplanted “southerner” from Columbia, Maryland, David M. Glasgow has been a familiar presence on the Dickinson campus for nearly two decades. During his years as a Dickinson student, Glasgow was active as a soloist and accompanist for the College Choir, portrayed several leading roles for the Mermaid Players, and contributed untrained but enthusiastic token maleness to the Dance Theatre Group. He was also a founding member of Run With It, a group he now serves (as he does Spectrum) as faculty advisor.

After walking down the famous stone steps of Old West in 1993 with his B.A. in Music Composition and Theory, Glasgow spent several years teaching piano privately in the Carlisle area before receiving his M.Div. from Lancaster Theological Seminary, on the way to a position as Associate Pastor and Minister of Music at Harrisburg’s Metropolitan Community Church of the Spirit. His duties at the church included arranging and performing close-harmony contemporary vocal music with “Two or Three,” the church’s pop vocal/instrumental group; and accompanying and directing the congregation’s Gospel Choir. He also directed the gospel choir on evangelist Delores P. Berry’s live concert CD and video, God Put a Rainbow in the Sky, and his vocal and choral compositions have been featured at conferences and events from Harrisburg, PA, to Johannesburg, South Africa. He currently performs locally with the vocal trio, “3.12.”

Patrons of Theatre Harrisburg may have seen him onstage at the Whitaker Center as the title character in Bat Boy: The Musical, or as Dr. Neville Craven in The Secret Garden. He is currently preparing for the role of Jonathan in Tick, Tick… Boom!, which opens March 6, 2008.

Glasgow is a pledge supervisor and member of the Community Advisory Board for WITF, Inc., serves as Music Director for the Unitarian Universalists of the Cumberland Valley, and has an unhealthy relationship with Dr Pepper.
