Eric Fredrickson

Eric Fredrickson is a South-Florida based theater educator and artist! Currently, Eric is the Acting & Directing Instructor at Bak Middle School of the Arts. He holds an MFA in Acting from Florida Atlantic University and a BFA in Acting from Drake University. As an actor and director, Eric has worked across the U.S. and Europe, with credits including Cunningham in To Kill a Mockingbird (directed by Stephen Wallem of Showtime’s Nurse Jackie), the Baker in Into the Woods, Mercutio in Romeo & Juliet, and Roger in Rent.

His professional experience also includes collaborations with the Tony Award–winning Eugene O'Neill Theater Center, Festival Repertory (FAU), Iowa Stage, The Barn Theater-School, Theatre Lab, American Gothic Performing Arts Festival, Northern Lakes Arts, The Great Nordic Shakespeare Festival, and The Michael Chekhov Association. Eric is also a playwright—his first original work, Highway 61, received a staged reading last year at the Great Nordic Shakespeare Festival.

As an educator, he is most proud of creating an ongoing partnership between Bak Middle School of the Arts and the Folger Shakespeare Library, allowing his students to collaborate with leading theatre professionals and scholars at the top of their craft. A proud member of VASTA (Voice and Speech Trainers Association), Eric’s teaching centers on voice, presence, and authentic expression. He holds certification in mVm® (The Miller Voice Method), which he uses to help his students—and himself—connect deeply to language and truth in performance. He extends heartfelt gratitude to his mentor JG (R.I.P.), his friends, and his family for their unwavering love, generosity, and support.
