This is Ami Sallee Corley’s (Frankie) seventh season with Jobsite. Her debut consisted of a night club act with a butterball turkey in The Ruins. She has seen death more times than most on the stage, having died a total of seven times throughout her Jobsite career, and has shared intimate moments with some of the Bay's finest in The Ruins, Dracula, subUrbia, Delusion of Darkness and The Boys Next Door. Ms. Corley has gained critical acclaim through Jobsite for her work in Waiting on Sean Flynn and The Nature of Fear and Its Effects, both of which contributed to a Best Actress award, and her direction of Cloud 9 won her Best Director. She directed Jobsite's A Girl's Guide to Chaos both at the Shimberg Playhouse and at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. She has been the east coast leading lady and leading man, for Jobsite's Portland-based playwright, Steve Patterson. It is obvious that Ms. Corley is proud to have found a home with Jobsite and she raises her glass to many more years. "Jobsite is truly my family. I could not think of a better place to be right now than sharing the stage with Paul Potenza and being directed by David Jenkins." By day, Ms. Corley is also proud to be a part of the administrative dream team at the Dr. Pallavi Patel Performing Arts Conservatory. "They make me crazy and keep me sane all at once!" Later this season Ms. Corley will appear in Grimm’s Faery Tales.
