Colón-Zayas has been a member of the LAByrinth Theatre Company, a New York-based traveling actors' group, since its founding in 1992.[5] On stage, she originated the role of Norca in the off-Broadway productions of Our Lady of 121st Street and the role of Haiku Mom in Quiara Alegría Hudes Pulitzer winner, Water By The Spoonful.[6] In 1999, she appeared in the Philip Seymour Hoffman directed play, In Arabia, We'd All Be Kings.[7][8]
One of Colón-Zayas most memorable role to theatergoers was as the "Church Lady" in Stephen Adly Guirgis's Pulitzer Prize-winning drama Between Riverside and Crazy which played the Atlantic Theater Company in 2014 and then Second Stage Theater in 2015.
