For Pulse Theatre Company, the art of drama is a family affair

The Pulse Theater company was cofounded in 2014 by Chicago native Aaron Reese Boseman. Like many storefront theater companies in the city, Pulse has faced several challenges, like financial setbacks and the ongoing pandemic. WBEZ theater reporter Mike Davis was recently in the audience for the theater's current production, Beneath the Willow Tree. He spoke with Boseman about the founding of the Black non-Equity theater company and its unlikely benefactor. Mike Davis joined me now to share what he had learned. HOST: DIXON
