Miss Mary Jane Green, internationally touring performance artist & music hall vaudevillian, pulls inspiration from Weimar Kabarett, UFA German Expressionism & early Hollywood cinema. She evokes the glory days of titillating cabaret appearing on stages across the US, Canada, New Zealand & Europe. Having performed for the majority of her life, she is a member of SAG/AFTRA/AEA studying acting at Circle in the Square Theater School on Broadway and holds a Master's degree in Drama.
Her background in ballet, jazz and the theatrical design arts combined with her vast experience in acting & vocal work; as well as her zest for travel and cultural history informs her unique aestheticism. Miss Mary Jane’s scholarly pursuits allowed her to specialize in the risqué cabaret scene during the Weimar Republic in Berlin. She is a life long vintage enthusiast who is constantly inspired by performers such as Anita Berber, Marlene Dietrich and Cyd Charisse continuing in a classic vein with the hope of keeping bygone vintage entertainment alive.
Utilizing her personal experiences Mary Jane created ‘Show Pony Express’ a niche online boutique specializing in needs for the traveling performer as well as it’s media arm ‘The Pony Pod’ in which she interviews performers in many different performance genres all over the world. An artist, author, ecdysiast educator and chanteuse Mary Jane is known as “The Trouser Tent Teaser”; prepare to have your tent popped!

Vintage Inspired Signature Acts

Tango with the Devil - Dagmar Tribute
This ribald classic half man-half beast act adds physical comedy to the old blue vaudeville schtick of the Devil molesting a dancer. Broken Ballerina Nutcracker
Ending with the broken clockwork doll riding a life sized carousel horse left for Christmas, this act envisions the backstory of the other clown dolls brought to life in the Nutcracker. Moon Divine - Sally Rand Tribute
An homage to one of the early greats, this is a slow, sensual dance with a giant glowing balloon preferably in low lighting. |
Je M'Ennuie (I Am Bored))
Starting from within the audience this interactive act is perfect for a cabaret setting. It gives a fresh persepective on the stiletto taboo. Petite Fleur This Classic burlesque fan dance with a decidedly french flair recreates a very feminine and seductive take on the history of bump and grind. Scandal in Bohemia Enter into the decidedly art deco abode of ‘THE woman’ Irene Adler of Sherlock Holmes lore, exploring Adler’s unabashed sexuality and sense of the spell she cast upon Holmes. Can be modified into a classic Roaring 20’s act in the style of Erté. |
