The play (written entirely by the students) examines a sample of the residents that have called this apartment home over the last century, focusing specifically on the stories of the immigrant residents who have dwelled there during the great pandemics that swept the United States - Spanish Flu, polio, HIV/AIDS and COVID-19. This production premiered as a CUNY Queens College Mainstage production in Spring 2023.
