During her State of the City address, Mayor Michelle Wu made the personal policy. She talked about how formative it was, as a Chicago kid in a family of few resources, to be able to attend museums for free. Exposure to a vast universe of art and ideas that could transport her to other places–both real and imagined - changed her life. Now she is working to do the same for children here. She joins me to discuss a pilot program, kicking off next month, that will give Boston Public School students and their families free admission to a handful of local arts institutions. But first, actor Danny Burgos is here to talk about performing in “Moulin Rouge! The Musical” and about his personal life, which has had a major plot twist of its own. He’ll break down how being a full- time nurse informs his work on the stage and why being an actor makes him a better RN.
