A native of Oklahoma, Professor Corey came to Georgetown College in the 1950s. Soon after arriving, he and his wife, Irene, began production on a religious drama based on the Biblical character of Job.

In the summer of 1958, twelve players known as the Maskrafter European Company, visited Britain and France. The Book of Job production was performed in churches with the assistance of the Religious Drama Society of Great Britain and The English Baptist Union. Later, The Book of Job would be performed off Broadway and was a summer attraction at Pine Mountain State Park in Kentucky for 20 years. After leaving Georgetown College, Professor Corey led a number of theatrical productions and co-founded and directed the Everyman Players, a touring classical troupe. That group toured for 24 years on four continents. Professor Corey also was producer of the American College Theatre Festival at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. He led theatre festivals in Washington, Montreal, and at the Louisiana World Festival. Orlin and Irene Corey were inducted into the Georgetown College Maskrafter Hall of Fame in 1995.
