The Shed

The Shed presents “HUMAN” as one of four&nbsp;performance&nbsp;works developed by artists from the fourth cohort of Open Call, The Shed’s early-career commissioning program.
“At the bottom of the ocean where the darkness meets the stars, the Octopus will tell the story of a thing once called the HUMAN being…”
Now that humans are extinct and the world as we knew it has ended, the Octopus has a decision to make… Will it be willing to give up one of its three hearts in order to create a new, more sensitive human being? Will it be willing to give humanity a second chance?
Rooted in African diasporic storytelling traditions and the musical lineages of blues, jazz, and soul,&nbsp;HUMAN&nbsp;explores themes of connection, human rights, ancestral memory, climate, and collective responsibility and asks audiences to question what it really means to be human in a time of deep ethical fracture.
Public Program: Puppet-Making Workshop
July 10, 6 pm July 11, 12:30 pm and 6 pm The Shed
Before each performance of&nbsp;HUMAN,&nbsp;the public is invited to transform trash and upcycled materials into puppets in a free community art experience. Participants will then activate their puppetry creations in a small parade that leads audiences through The Shed and into The Griffin Theater—crossing a ritual threshold into the world of the play where humans no longer exist.

White Collar Support Group Speaker Karen Kelly, Esq.

Brian Tyler Cohen doesn’t just comment on politics — he dissects the machinery behind it.
Now the #1 New York Times bestselling author, MSNBC contributor, and creator of one of the most-watched independent political platforms in the country comes to 92NY to discuss his new book, The Day After: How to Wield Power in a Post-Trump World.
A leading progressive voice in digital media, Cohen has built a following of millions by translating the chaos of the political moment into clear, unsparing analysis. In The Day After, he turns from diagnosis to prescription, offering his own argument for how progressives should think about power, why he believes the Democrats have too often failed to use it effectively, and what he sees as the stakes for American democracy in the years ahead.
Part political playbook, part manifesto, the book lays out Cohen’s views on the structural fights shaping the future of American government, from the Supreme Court and executive authority to economic policy, voting rights, and climate action. His central question: not just how elections are won, but what governing should look like afterward.
Join Cohen for a timely conversation about the ideas driving his new book, his rise as one of the most influential independent political commentators of his generation, and how the new media landscape is transforming political influence and public debate.

The American Theatre of Actors Inc

Shangri-La-La: A Comedy Musical About Siegfried &amp; Roy
What happens when two ambitious young immigrants come to America, reinvent themselves in Las Vegas, charm the world, build a rhinestone kingdom at The Mirage, and then discover that even white tigers have limits?
Shangri-La-La is a fast-moving new comedy musical inspired by the rise of Siegfried &amp; Roy — with original songs, Vegas glamour, impossible dreams, outrageous costumes, magic, friendship, immigrant reinvention, Steve Wynn, Bugsy Siegel, and just enough tiger danger to keep everyone alert.
Written by Mike Meier &amp; Peter Giambalvo, the show is part showbiz fairy tale, part immigrant dream, 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 in Midtown Manhattan.

Merchant Cash Advance Litigation Accelerates Across New York as Courts Examine Alleged Disguised Loan Agreements
New York remains the epicenter of merchant cash advance litigation &mdash; and 2025's landmark enforcement action is reshaping what defenses are available to business owners.
NEW YORK &mdash; Small business owners across the five boroughs are facing a wave of merchant cash advance (MCA) collection actions, and many are being sued in New York courts even when their businesses operate hundreds of miles away.
The reason is structural. Most MCA agreements contain New York forum-selection clauses buried in the fine print, funneling disputes into state Supreme Court regardless of where the business is located. Once a funder files, the timeline moves fast: New York gives defendants roughly 20 to 30 days to respond, and missing that window can result in a default judgment &mdash; followed by frozen bank accounts and restraining notices served directly on institutions like Chase and TD Bank.
What has shifted is the legal landscape underneath these cases. In 2025, the New York Attorney General's settlement with Yellowstone Capital resulted in more than a billion dollars in debt cancellation and confirmed what defense attorneys had argued for years: that many MCA products marketed as "purchases of future receivables" functioned as illegal, disguised loans.
New York courts now weigh three factors to determine whether an MCA is a true receivables purchase or a loan subject to usury limits &mdash; whether the contract contains a genuine reconciliation provision, whether the funder retains recourse if the business fails, and whether the funder bears any real risk. Where daily payments never adjust to actual revenue, courts have increasingly recharacterized the agreement as a loan, potentially triggering New York's criminal usury cap under Penal Law &sect; 190.40.
Business owners also have procedural tools. A default judgment entered through improper service or an out-of-state Confession of Judgment &mdash; a practice New York restricted in 2019 &mdash; can often be challenged with a motion to vacate under CPLR &sect; 5015.
The practical takeaway for New York business owners: the earliest stage of an MCA dispute is when the most options exist. Once a judgment is entered and accounts are frozen, defenses narrow quickly.
Business owners in New York City who have been served with an MCA lawsuit, received a summons, or had a bank account frozen can review their options and connect with an experienced MCA defense attorney through CredibleLaw's New York network at <a href="https://crediblelaw.com/mca-lawyer-nyc/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://crediblelaw.com/mca-lawyer-nyc/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">crediblelaw.com/mca-lawyer-nyc/</a><a href="https://crediblelaw.com/mca-lawyer-nyc/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank"></a>
