For 20 years he taught in Charlottesville and now he is out of Athens, Georgia (where he has switched from public education to private). He has worked with entities in England including the University of Birmingham’s Shakespeare Institute and the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust (both in Stratford-upon-Avon). In Mr. Hickerson’s class the students are responsible for shaping much of the performance based portion of the curriculum. His students work with plays and sonnets in performance and presentation.
