Nikki DiLoreto

Nikki DiLoreto (CFA’12) of Los Angeles, Calif., directed The Last Podcast on Earth, which held a staged reading in March at the Elysian Theater. A dark comedy written by and starring Kaley Ronayne (CFA’12), alongside Will Madden (CFA’13), the production is an exploration of late-stage capitalism, influencer culture, and messy female friendship. The reading also served as a fundraiser for CHIRLA, one of California’s largest immigrant rights organizations. Nikki is a theatrical director, producer, mentor, and performance coach. Her previous projects include the Tony Award–winning musical SIX, for which she was associate director.
