Coley got her start as a shadowcast performer with Absolute Pleasure (Poughkeepsie cast), at Kevin McCurdy's Haunted Mansion in October of 1997. She has played the roles of Janet Weiss and swapped as Columbia for the last showings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show with Absolute Insanity cast at the Pearl River Theater.

Coley brought The Rocky Horror Picture Show to Dutchess Community College for it's first run in October 2000. (Huge thanks to Student Activities Office!) She continued to direct and play as Columbia until she left DCC in 2003. Coley also brought the show to Purchase College for a one time successful run, thanks to Apoca-Lips cast throwing all the callbacks in the audience! 

​

She returned to co-produce with Apoca-Lips cast in 2013 when she brought the show to Tivoli Free Library. Since then Coley has performed as Riff Raff at Tivoli and Norwalk Aquarium (2015) and as Riff-Joker at Hudson Valley Comic Con (2016).
