In his youth he witnessed the shows of Chang, Richiardi Sr. and Fu Manchu to name a few. He was also exposed to other shows and developed a fondness for all things theatrical.
Cesareo was a natural leader and, in his teens, gathered together his friends from the neighborhood and put together a miniature theatre group. They would build scenery, design costumes and put on shows. It was the precursor to what he would do years later in Beverly.
