Corey Schreck

After learning to sew at the age of seven and one fateful decision to work in the Costume Studio at Rollins College, it was clear that Corey’s career path must include textile fabrication. In 2006, Corey received her BA with a major in Theatre Arts and minor in Dance, Magna Cum Laude, from Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida. From there she was hired as First Hand at the Orlando Shakespeare Theater’s costume shop where she spent two seasons perfecting her skills in garment construction, while experimenting with a variety of techniques and materials for all things costume. By June of 2008, Corey began working at Blue Man Orlando in the wardrobe department, while also beginning to work as a freelance tailor and assistant wardrobe stylist on commercials and photo shoots. A series of happy circumstances led to the creation of Cutting Line Production Room almost a decade later. She continues to freelance as a set tailor and wardrobe assistant when her schedule permits.
