Corey Kilburn: From the Courtroom to the Stage

Corey Kilburn, Founder and Creative Counsel at Roundtable Legal Law Offices of Corey Kilburn, has found many similarities between his day to day work and time spent acting in the theater. “Theater really does help develop a lot of those transferable skills,” he says. “They work together hand in hand, but it’s a chance for me to be a little more creative. It helps me unwind and I can kind of take a breath from the reality of every day.” Kilburn has been in plays since he was 11 years old on the stage at Shepherd of the Hills. His latest work has been with Springfield Little Theater (SLT) for The Play That Goes Wrong, in which he not only acted, but also choreographed all of the stunts and fight scenes. The show did an encore in 2024 and has been the highest grossing play SLT has ever had.
