Corey Mitchell
Our guest this week is Corey Mitchell, the first-ever winner of the Tony Award for Excellence in Theatre Education. He shares his origin story with Tyler - about his family and those that supported his own upbringing - as well as how he supports his students today by playing dual roles as an educator and surrogate parent. Corey also opens up about how the pandemic has forced a deep examination of what his life looks like now.
About the Guest
Corey Mitchell has been teaching theater at the Northwest School of Arts in Charlotte, North Carolina for almost twenty years. Many of his students (like Miss Saigon star Eva Noblezada and Mean Girls star Renee Rapp) have gone on to make huge impacts in the musical theater industry. This year, he’s planning on retiring and starting his own program to bolster the chances of under-resourced students pursuing higher education in the arts.
