    CorRay is a graduate of Martinsburg High School. He is no stranger to the stage and loves performing, having been seen most recently in the Apollo Civic Theatre's production of YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN. Being in his third Scene Stealers production, CorRay has had the privilege of playing Zach in BARE: A POP OPERA and Mitch Mahoney in THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE with the group. Additional past shows outside of Scene Stealers include HELLO, DOLLY!, HAIRSPRAY, and PIRATES OF PENZANCE all at the Apollo. CorRay has had a huge amount of fun getting into the role of the ever-fabulous Angel (even if he didn't enjoy getting used to the heels) and he hopes you enjoy the show!
