DIANA DICOSTANZO ( Director/Producer/Ensemble Member ) is an actress, improvisor, singer/songwriter, director, playwright, and teacher. A graduate of Emerson College in Boston, MA, she has also studied at ImprovBoston, Endgames Improv, The Annoyance NYC, and Reckless Theatre. In San Francisco she had the pleasure of working with The Un-Scripted Theater Company® (the original creators of Act One, Scene Two) as a guest performer and teacher/developer of their Improvised Musical Theatre Curriculum. It was there she was introduced to long-form theatrical improv and found her love of narrative improvised stories. As the mastermind behind Act One, Scene Two's east coast team, she is unbelievably honored to have brought this wonderful form to NYC, as it combines her love of play development and the magic of improv! www.dianadicostanzo.com
