As co-founder of Teatro Avante, Alina produced many of the company's early plays.

In the late 1980s, she focused on literature and joined Miami Dade College, where she founded the Center for Literature, and was the moving and creative force behind the growth, recognition and prestige the Miami Book Fair enjoys today. She directed the event for 25 years. Alina returned to the theatre in 2015 in the revival of René R. Aloma's Alguna cosita que alivie el sufrir at the 30th International Hispanic Theatre Festival of Miami, in the role of Ana, which she played in the piece's first production, also by Teatro Avante, in 1986. In 2016 she played the role of Lina Berman in El puerto de los cristales rotos, and in 2017 played the lead role in Notas que saben a olvido. Her more recent work includes Ana in Nowhere in the world, and this summer, Sister Angela in Bayamesa. The Woman Under The Tree is Alina's latest project and cinematographic debut.
