In 2023, Pulse presented Chasing Happy, a modern comedy about personal identity, love, acceptance …and the elusive pursuit of happiness. Nick is in love with another man’s boyfriend. (Oops.) Nick’s mother says George Clooney wants to date her. (Really?) Nick’s ex-wife says she has to have surgery.( Now?) …It’s a laugh a minute on an unexpected merry-go-round when you’re chasing happy. Chasing Happy was written by Michel Wallerstein and directed by Alexa Kelly.

“Chasing Happy is a fun way to spend an evening. You leave the theater with aslight face ache from laughing, a glowing warmth in your heart… therapeutic as binging nostalgic sitcoms, yet more engaging and fulfilling… director Alexa Kelly knows how to move things along… and makes it all look effortless and playful.”
