Michael joined Bill Gleeson's (June Bronhill) orchestra on guitar for CHMCC's 2006 production of Oklahoma'
"I work regularly in theatre restaurant which is great fun, and it's a great environment for keeping improv skills honed. I love comedy and I love musicals....the possibilities are endless...but I'm also fascinated with the more introspective roles.. Playing some sick & twisted individual might just help me explain a few thing about myself.....to myself!!..(Well no-one else seems to be able to...lol).."
