Chris Timmons, artistic director of Theatre Charlotte, answers Five Questions for CLT Daily: what's kept a community theater going in Charlotte for 99 seasons, what it meant to open Come From Away on the 25th anniversary of September 11, the hardest part of putting on a show with local artists who have day jobs, and what's next — Frankenstein (Oct 30–Nov 15) and the 20th anniversary A Christmas Carol (Dec 11–20). Plus his pick for a night out this weekend: WDAV's Small Batch concert at Free Range Brewing, Saturday, Oct 3. Chris answered in writing; his words are read by the host.
