Back in 2006 writer, composer, director, actor Carlos Heredia was working as a janitor for a NYC middle school when he first realized the lack of art education programs. Determined to fill in the void, the New York native created Hip Hip Heredia, a musical theatre program for teens. Heredia created positive, original musicals which encouraged teens to foster a sense of stewardship toward their community. Heredia is committed to creating family friendly material that breaks the stereotypes in the media, empowers and educates while entertains, with the end goal being to create an afterschool theatre program that educates students through theatre. He has decided to go back to finish his degree in Theatre at GTCC, while juggling his 4 kids, and pursuing his professional acting career. Most recently co-starring in an episode of Queen of the South which will air in June, Season 4 episode 4.
