GEORGE GOETSCHEL musician

Mike Shreeman has been performing with Musical! the musical since its inception late last century at the Royal George Theater. As a SAG and AFTRA member for the last 15 years, he has performed in many different venues and thinks Mtm might be the perfect vehicle for his artistic aspirations. Mr. Shreeman started his career in his hometown of Detroit. There he got to hone his craft with mentors that ranged from Michael Shurtleff to Ronald McDonald. Really. He also discovered a passion he has for improvisation which inspired him to move to Chicago. Here he completed the training programs at Second City and ImprovOlympic and now tries to improvise as much as his schedule and creditors will allow. Mike also created Novel Ideas, an educational theater troupe that has improvised at schools across the Midwest for more than 10 years. In addition to Mtm, some other improvisational credits Mike is proud of include Brave New Workshop (Disney Cruise Line), Frank Booth (ImprovOlympic) and The Paisano Brothers (Carlucci Restaurant Group Spokesmen).He has also enjoyed playing "Corey" in Roasting Chestnuts (Noble Fool Theater), "Counselor Fred Gayley" in Miracle on 34th Street (national tour), "spokesman" for the Düsseldorf tourism bureau, a contented "shopper" in a Walgreens campaign and PGA West. Enjoy the show!
