April Heather was born and raised in Nebraska. She is the 5th out of 6 children. Not long after high school graduation, she moved to New York City to study theater. There, she graduated from a professional acting conservatory, the American Musical & Dramatic Academy (AMDA), in 1998. Her travels took her to a few other states after that, including a productive four years in Seattle where her focus turned from theater to film. Naturally, her next stop would be Los Angeles.
