Ace Hotel New York | September 2026, Manhattan, NY

ABOUT

fools is a site-specific performance series by Mamie Green & Lily Lady exploring the mythos of the American West, masculinity, and desire all set in the intimate confines of Ace New York’s Loft Suite.

The piece draws together two texts: Sam Shepard’s 1983 play Fool for Love, set in a motel room in the Mojave Desert, and Lady’s 2025 poetry collection Blood Brother. Blending dance and theater, fools is a poetic and darkly funny look at gender, familial love, secrets, and loss.

Directed and choreographed by Mamie Green. Original script by Lily Lady. Performed by Wendell Gray II, Gary Reagan, and Sadie Rose Parker. Set design by Future Space. Lighting by Henry Mont.

The performance is presented by Ace New York’s Artist-in-Residence program and ran once a week for three weeks in September.

“Directed and choreographed by Mamie Green and written by Lily Lady, Fools morphs Sam Shepard’s Fool for Love into a kind of dramatic dream dance played out in a suite in the Ace Hotel. The dancing is precise and elegant and the circling rhythmic speech hypnotic, with Gary Reagan and Wendell Gray II as twin brothers tied by a cattle rope that might be an umbilical cord and Sadie Rose Parker as their father, seeming, amazingly to channel the ghost of Sam Shepard’s dad. Clever use of sheets, songs and simple lighting transform this lux suite first into a very different much cheaper motel in Nowhere USA, and then possibly into a womb, or the inside of an old memory.”

SUGAR TUB at Art/Space 114 | JULY, 2026, Los Angeles, CA

ABOUT

SUGAR TUB is a play by Siena Soltis, directed by Roxanne Rogers, and choreographed by Mamie Green. The play was performed in an empty pool underneath Art/Space 114.

Trapped in this purgatory-like space beneath an unseen Hollywood party, five aspiring models — Venti, Trenta, Grande, Dulce, and the elusive Karine — wait for a phone call that might summon them upstairs into a contract and a better life. As the wait stretches from hours into days, rivalry and exhaustion wear through their choreographed rituals of composure and desirability, turning the body into the site of hustle culture’s demand for perpetual, marketable performance.

Written by Siena Soltis
Directed by Roxanne Rogers
Choreography by Mamie Green / VOLTA
Performers: Victoria Davidoff, Greer Cohen, Kayla Dobbs, Sadie Parker, and Olivia Fogel

“…expressed most persuasively through dance, where the relationship between movement and strained execution does more conceptually than explicit dialogue could…Green’s choreography meet here with resonant force”

“Green creates restless movements for the five-actress ensemble…whose recurring tap-dance sequences and melodramatic poses chart an unsettling descent from performance into self-exploitation.”

“They repeat sequences toward exhaustion, bodies braced against the movement and effort visible in every gesture. It is when Sugar Tub trusts movement to carry its innate weight that the larger work resonates most profoundly.”

ABOUT

Dis-order is an evening-length performance directed and choreographed by Mamie Green that examines the complexity of family dynamics through dance, theater, comedy, ritual, and puppetry. Staged in the round, the work uses these mediums to invite viewers into the world of a family enacting a spring ritual.

With the Father at the helm of this ritual, Dis-order tests the societal line between order and chaos with dark levity. Staged à la Judy Chicago’s The Dinner Party, the piece references Jewish symbolism, Greek tragedy, Pina Bausch’s Rite of Spring, and Jungian archetypes via large-scale puppetry by Freak Nature Puppets, an original script by writer Rebecca Schultz, set design by Ari Salka, and a live score by Patrick Shiroishi and Dylan Fujioka.

“mesmerizing… emotionally compelling”

“Green masterfully balances narrative potential against the inherent abstraction of dance.”
