Β CHARLOTTE, NC — A huge honor for a CMS theater teacher. Β Corey Mitchell will receive the first ever Excellence in Theater Education Award during this weekend’s Tony Awards.

Mitchell has taught acting at Northwest School of the Arts for 14 years. Β He’s also directing local theater productions. Β We caught up with him Thursday night in Davidson at a rehearsal for Chicago.

“Every stage actor dreams of a Tony,” said Mitchell. Β “And it’s just amazing to be a teacher and to have such a huge honor bestowed.”

More than 4,000 teachers from across the country were nominated for the award.
