Corey hails from Rochester, New York. His stage debut, in third grade, was the coveted role of Pepe in Pepe and the Cornfield Bandit. He soon after enrolled in his first of 9 summers at French Woods, a theater camp in the Catskills. In high school, Corey started his first improv group, and stayed active in the improv and sketch communities at Northwestern University, where he studied Radio TV and Film.

Corey's interests extend off the stage to writing, producing, directing, and animating for the stage and screen. His short films (including Keep Clear, Sockrotika VII: The Smell of Socks, and My Brother...The Stormtrooper) have screened at festivals around the globe.

In 2001, Corey created a variety show called The A**hole Monologues: A Comedy for Anyone Who Has One, Knows One, or Is One as a benefit for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America. The show enjoyed sold out runs (no pun intended) in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Aspen, and New York City.

Corey is also a Visual Effects Supervisor for The Orphanage in San Francisco's Presidio. His behind-the-scenes credits include Live Free or Die Hard, Grindhouse, Night At The Museum, War of the Worlds, and the Star Wars movies.

Corey began taking BATS classes in 1996 and has performed with the Sunday Players and Belfry Ensembles before becoming a Company Guest in 2004. He is thrilled to share the Bayfront Stage with so many committed and talented performers...including his wife, Jenny Rosen.
