Corey Case

Corey is a born and bred Midwesterner from Clinton, Illinois who was active in football, wrestling, baseball and theater in high school. After high school, he attended Eastern Illinois University where he obtained a degree in Graphic Design and was on the rugby team. He works computer layout for a major printing company. Still living in Clinton, Corey is married to his wife Andi (who also has a role in Christmas Crashers) and has three children: Mikah, Lukah and Callahan. As far as acting after high school, Corey and his wife have had comedic leads in four dinner theater plays. Due to what his wife described as his "not evolving style," Corey also landed an extra part in the 1990's era Matt Damon film "The Informant" shot in Decatur, Illinois. Although Corey enjoys acting, he equally enjoys writing. He began writing creatively in 2009 and his interest quickly turned to ten minute play competitions where he experienced some success. In 2010, his play "Not In My Lobby, You Don't" was produced at Heartland Theatre in Normal, Illinois. That play and another one of his entitled "Leaving Your Mark" were performed at the Camino Real Playhouse in San Juan Capistrano, California the following year. The same playhouse produced his play "Love Is In The Hair" in 2015 where it won audience favorite. Several years ago, Corey was contacted by a former teacher who asked him to write an interactive anti-bullying script for her to develop. This production is still performed in schools around central Illinois. Beyond a dozen or so ten minute plays, Corey has or is in the process of writing in many different formats including three feature-length screenplays, a one-act play, a children's book series (and illustrated as well), an Alice in Wonderland type novel and stand-up routines. When not writing, Corey enjoys making three-dimensional works of art, painting scenes from classic Christmas specials, filming short videos for contests (one of which won them a Disney trip) and being a lackluster guitarist.
