His New York appearances included "The Taming of the Shrew," "Our Town" and "Harvey." He toured with Arlene Francis in "Janus" and with Larry Parks in "Teahouse of the August Moon." With William Roerick, his longtime partner, Coley compiled "A Passage to E. M. Forster," which ran Off Broadway in 1970.
