Jake Raterman plays the part of Chadwick and the manager at Macy’s in Fort Myers Theatre’s production of Elf the Musical.

Prior stage credits include Damian Hubbard in Mean Girls High School Edition for Melody Lane Theatre, the title role in Fort Myers Theatre’s production of You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown, Mr. Holgate in Bulletproof Backpack at the Center for Performing Arts Bonita, Hovstad in An Enemy of the People at Florida Gulf Coast University, Max in Cabaret at the Alliance for the Arts, Fred Casely in Chicago for Gypsy Playhouse, Jesus in Odd Couple: Female Version for Belle Theatre, work in the ensemble of Rent, and the role of Paul San Marco in A Chorus Line (a character that was based on the life story of Nicholas Dante).

The recent graduate also played Josh in Bang Bang You’re Dead, Warner in Legally Blonde, Romeo in The Seussification of Romeo and Juliet, Morris in The Dark at the Top of the Stairs, Kevin in So You Wanna Be a Cheerleader, and Joe in 26 Pebbles in Canterbury’s theater productions.
