In the Spring of 2017, Wiley was cast as 'Dopey' in Landford Wilson's acclaimed off broadway play, Balm in Gilead, for his debut in a main stage production at Skidmore College. In only his second time on stage, Wiley delivered an erratic and charismatic take on the role of strung out, derelict narrator. The performance won him an award that spring in the Skidmore College Theater Department for excellence and originality.
