About Diana
Diana is a Boricua actor (see: Puerto Rican) based in NY/NJ. Performing started because of her mother’s own love for the arts, which was instilled in all the Maldonado children. From scream-singing the soundtrack of Les Misérables, to performing at cheerleading Nationals, Diana was in love with the stage. She tried to resist the pull of acting with sports and Chinese martial arts, but ultimately she succumbed to the inevitable: she got a BFA in Acting. Her training at Montclair State University taught her to channel all that energy into specificity. When not performing, she is often found reacting very passionately and absurdly to a fantasy book, or pursuing one of the many hobbies she does not spend enough time on because there are just too many! She is only one woman.
