Formed "Cheribaum Productions" with Rob Reineche and Arwulf Arwulf to create a midnight cabaret for the theater to experiment with additional show choices for late night.

First production "Cherries" which was made up of small musical bits and short comedic scripts. The idea was to have each piece flow one to the other and keep the audience engaged.
Some audience partcipation was included (Gabriel Guyer participated in two pieces)

Arwulf Arwulf is a jazz expert and is a radio host of jazz programs in Ann Arbor, MI - he allowed me to accompany him to the station and learn how to run a radio show and write and produce commercials. Later, he allowed me to co-host with a free form midnight show at the University of Michigan (WCBN-FM) station.
