Alan CordoBa-Diaz
as Director - Dinner with Darius
Born and raised in New York City, Alan got the acting bug after not being able to follow his dream of being a wrestler(thanks in part to not knowing where exactly to train). Realizing that the theatrics needed to be a wrestler wasn't really any different from acting, he concentrated more on they path. He received his bachelor's degree in Theater, by accident, at City College of New York. From there, he dabbled in both theater and film. After taking a long break, due to COVID, returned to the acting world by first joining Theatre 68 and taking on a new chapter in his acting path: directing and writing.
