A DIVERSE CAREER

PERFORMING, PRODUCING, DIRECTING & Mentoring

This diverse career has given him an unparalleled insight into what an audience wants, coming to the fore when staging an event either for a corporate audience, a theatre production or an immersive experience.

Peter joined Peter Magee on the NI Business Podcast for a candid conversation about creativity, corporate entertainment, and what it really takes to lead in the ever-changing world of live events and performance.

CHAMPIONING the ARTS

A Belfast Boy at heart, Peter has always been proud of his roots and has remained a champion for the arts in Northern Ireland. Peter presented a TED X talk at Parliament Buildings, Belfast on the power of music in our lives, (watch Peter Corry’s TED X talk) and in 2020 was a prominent voice in championing the arts and entertainment industry to the Department for Communities to address difficulties the sector was facing throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Passionate about providing pathways into the creative sector and encouraging young people to perform, Peter has been producing and creating projects for young people across Northern Ireland to get involved in Musical Theatre since 2002. In 2016 Peter was appointed the Artistic Director of The Belfast School of Performing Arts (BSPA), Northern Ireland’s largest theatre school for young people, with over 800 pupils. With limited pathways for professional training in Northern Ireland, Peter has supported numerous young people in achieving their dream of performing professionally.
