Adante Carter is an actor, born and raised in Rapid City, South Dakota. Being actively involved in his community, local arts organizations, and high school theatre department, he decided to move to LA to pursue an education in Music Theatre.

After graduation at The American Musical and Dramatic Academy, he booked a role in the immersive Los Angeles revival of Carrie: The Musical, which led to more involvement in the LA theatre scene.

Shortly thereafter he made the move to New York, where he has since continued to work in National Tours, Off-Broadway, regionally and commercially on various projects. Currently he's part of the cast of the First National Tour of "Mean Girls: The Musical" as Aaron Samuels.
