Alberto develops and performs a large majority of educational residencies at schools, as well as the forum discussions at the Political Theatre Festival. He has been active as a director, playwright and independent producer for both film and theater.

His artistic focus has always been on educating the public concerning multi-cultural themes. Some of his projects include working with Hazelwood, one of the first schools in the north side of Belfast, Northern Ireland to be integrated, and developing collaborative programming to foster understanding between the Hmong and Latino communities.

His many honors include the 1994 Leadership in Arts award, for his research on theater as a crime prevention tool, and the 1993 Many Voices Residency Award from the Playwright Center of Minneapolis.
