Reflect on 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence with a special curator-led tour of the ongoing exhibition Native New York at the National Museum of the American Indian. The Revolutionary War (1775–1783) tested the bonds of the Haudenosaunee (Mohawk, Oneida, Tuscarora, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca nations) Confederacy, an alliance of six nations that controlled most of the territory now known as New York State. Neighboring nations were also drawn into conflict, and all were forced to choose sides or try to remain neutral. Learn more about Indigenous history on both frontiers of the war in relation to the Mohican, Oneida, and Cayuga communities and in the war’s aftermath at Buffalo Creek. Free, Friday, July 17, 11 AM and 1 PM.

2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Join Morven, the home of Signer Richard Stockton, for our public program series Generation Declaration shedding light on little known or underrepresented aspects of America’s founding document.
On July 19, Morven welcomes historian and leading expert on the Declaration of Independence Dr. Emily Sneff for “When the Declaration of Independence Was News.” The program focuses on the nation’s founding document at the moment of its creation in 1776, before anyone knew what the legacy of the Declaration would be or if the United States would win the war against Great Britain. It explores how the Declaration was communicated to people in the new nation and around the Atlantic world and reveals the stories of the many people involved in the process of declaring independence, from printers to soldiers to diplomats to translators.

BOOK RELEASE PARTY FOR SEAN KENNERLY’S MEMOIR OF A HYENA! WED JULY 22 at P.I.T.
Readings/performances by HALLIE ELIZABETH NEWTON, ROB BRYN, DREAD, and SEAN KENNERLY.
About the book:
For thousands of years spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta) were thought to be hermaphroditic, because males and females have identical phallic genitalia. Though they look nearly the same, they are sexually distinct, the slightly larger and more powerful females ruling their often extensive clans. With a wide range of communicative vocalizations and sophisticated interpersonal behaviors, hyenas are considered to be as intelligent as chimpanzees. Often mischaracterized as solely scavengers, they are actually skillful and effective hunters, seldom observed because they hunt most often in darkness.
Memoir of a Hyena is the harrowing memoir of one such spotted hyena as he lives his brief and difficult life in the shadow of his sister’s rise to greatness. Marginalized and scorned by his own family, caught in the crossfire of his clan’…

James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take everyone's favorite storybook characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, piece... and a rare modern classic. The Tony Award-winning book and score are both enchanting and touching.
The story follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results.

Shangri-La-La: A Comedy Musical About Siegfried & Roy
Shangri-La-La is a fast-moving one-hour comedy musical inspired by the rise of legendary Las Vegas entertainers Siegfried & Roy. The show follows two ambitious young immigrants who come to America, reinvent themselves in Las Vegas, and build a rhinestone kingdom at The Mirage — with original songs, magic, friendship, impossible dreams, outrageous costumes, Steve Wynn, Bugsy Siegel, and just enough tiger danger to keep everyone alert.
Written by Mike Meier & Peter Giambalvo, Shangri-La-La is part showbiz fairy tale, part immigrant reinvention story, part Vegas fever dream — and, yes, inspired by actual events. Unfortunately.
The New York performances are part of the Midtown International Theater Festival and will take place at the American Theatre of Actors, just north of Times Square.
