Hi there, I’m Kristen Jeter. I’m an actor working in New York City and Atlanta.

Without wonder and insight, acting is just a trade. With it, it becomes creation.

- Bette Davis

Kristen Jeter was born and raised in the peach state of Georgia. While growing up in the city of Smyrna, Kristen was involved in sports and many extra-curricular activities. She was a Spartans Cheerleader, Class Vice President, avid Drama Geek, Assistant Choir Conductor, and lead Jazz Band singer. She still recalls the infamous Marcus Roberts telling her to "get off the page" and trust in her individuality. 

In 2006, Kristen Jeter attended a convention called the International Presentation of Performers in New York City. There she was one of the selected few, chosen from over 900 people to perform in the talent showcase that concluded the convention. It was that week in New York City that cemented Jeter's ambitions for Show Business.

After graduating from high school, Jeter moved to New York City to study Musical Theater at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. There she excelled and was invited to perform in the honorary "Show and Tell," "Best Of" and "Final Demonstrations".

Professionally, Jeter has been fortunate enough to begin leaving her mark all around the country by working hard and staying humble. For the years she performed as a Swing, Nabulungi Understudy, and Assistant Dance Captain in the Broadway national tour of The Book of Mormon. She was also in its Australian company before the 2020 shutdown, and Jeter is currently a Swing/Nabulungi Understudy in the Book of Mormon on Broadway..

 

P.S.

Under the guidance of the passionate teacher Spencer Jordan, I became the hard working artist she is today. In a spring production, I was cast in the role of Margo Crane in Marry Orr's The Wisdom of Eve. There was a general lack of morale as senioritis hit most of the cast very hard.  During rehearsals, Mr. Jordan issued a test to determine if the play would continue. During a run of the show, the cast was allowed 3 mistakes, 3 chances to mess up a line or make a blocking error. There were 67 mistakes in the first act alone! As he had warned, Mr. Jordan cancelled the production and went home for the weekend. The following Monday afternoon, myself and other devoted young thespians showed up to rehearsal and demanded that show go on. Spencer Jordan taught his students not to take any opportunity for granted, a lesson I still carry with me to this day.

Much love,

Jeter
