Even as a toddler, Corey Mitchell liked to go around the house singing. “I never officially grew out of it,” he says with a laugh. Now he's rehearsing “Bat Boy: The Musical” at Actor's Theatre of Charlotte, preparing to reprise the cameo that won him a Metrolina Theatre Association award in 2004. Mitchell performs his main role at Northwest School of the Arts, where he's in his eighth year of teaching theater. He introduces students to the likes of Shakespeare, Molière and Harold Pinter, “whose words have survived and become universal.” And he preaches that theater can be a force in society. It's “a powerful medium. It's not to be taken lightly.”
