Jonathan Muñoz-Proulx‘s production of Charlotte Stay Close will receive an extension this weekend at Ensemble Studio Theatre/LA.

At the beginning of the run, I sat down with Jonathan at the foot of the set’s bed and chit-chatted about the play, traditional and non-traditional roads to a life in the theatre, and the liberating power of teaching a craft to one’s own self.
