NEW YORK, NY — Theater for the New City presents the World Premiere of ASTORIA, a play by Richard Ploetz about one multi-generational family confronting the end of an era. During weekly dinners at his grandmother Helen’s longtime apartment, Michael, a writer, chronicles his family history in the form of a play. When Helen takes a fall, Michael must face the possibility of moving her into a nursing home. As he prepares for this transition, his estranged father, Walter, arrives, reopening old wounds and exposing competing versions of the family’s history.
