Who?

Netza Jimenez was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and doesn’t think he’ll ever leave! He grew up in a music rich environment with regular family jam sessions where everyone sang along. He grew up taking piano and guitar lessons, and maybe if he’d listened to his mom and practiced he’d be able to competently play one of them by now! In 5th grade, Netza starred as Shrek in Shrek Jr. at his elementary school. Little did little Netza know then, but that would plant a seed for the passion that he would pursue for the rest of his life. His favorite credits since then have been Woof in Hair, Edna in Hairspray, and Mark in Rent.

From his time adoring and performing theater, Netza has been able to witness the power that theater has to change people’s hearts and minds. He hopes to be able to have that same effect on anyone who watches him.
