About Alrinthea

Emmy Award nominee Alrinthea Carter is a South Carolina girl who was raised in Germany as part of a military family. After graduating from Winthrop University, Alrinthea moved to South Korea for a year, becoming a preschool teacher for Air Force children in Osan. After learning more kids’ songs than she ever expected, Alrinthea moved back to South Carolina to attend graduate school at Clemson University, which set the stage for a career advising Clemson students for 16 years. Her tenure at Clemson ended when she was staffed as a writer on the Emmy-winning Comedy Variety series “A Black Lady Sketch Show” on HBO, created by comedy giant Robin Thede. Alrinthea was nominated for “Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series” alongside the ABLSS writing staff.

An improviser for ten years, Alrinthea has performed across the country and is a highly sought-after improv instructor and coach. Alrinthea is also a photographer, with an artistic focus on the abandoned spaces of the American South. Widely published, and featured in Art Galleries, she was recently noted in The Hollywood Reporter and gave a TED Talk focusing on the connection between her abandoned space photography and living with depression.

Her patron saint is and will always be Prince.
