A bit about myself.

Rachel Kanter is an actor and singer based in Boston and New York City. She is currently completing her senior year at Boston University’s School of Theatre, earning her BFA in Acting alongside a concentration in Musical Theatre.

She recently returned from London, where she spent a semester studying classical acting at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA), including training in stage combat.

In addition to her acting training, Rachel has extensive training in both classical voice and musical theater. She is also a self-taught guitarist and enjoys writing music in her free time.

Happening now

I am currently in rehearsals for Twelve Angry Men at Boston University’s School of Theatre where I will be playing juror 4. Performances are November 15-16.

I’m also in the process of developing my senior thesis, which will be going up February 21 & 22.

In spring 2026, I will be playing Electra in The Oresteia at The Joan & Edgar Booth Theatre at BU. More information to come!

Looking ahead to May, I will be participating in the BU School of Theatre Acting Showcase in both Boston (May 4) and New York City (May 11).
