Jasmine Gelfer (she/her) is a 23 year old singer, dancer, and actor currently based in Putnam County NY. She has recently graduated Emerson College with a BFA Musical Theatre major with a minor in Marketing Communications. Since graduation she has been working for various regional theaters.

Jasmine was born and raised about an hour north of NYC in Putnam County, NY (yes, exactly like the spelling bee!) As the daughter of two working artistic professionals, she has always been encouraged to pursue her goal of working in the performing arts.

Jasmine started taking dance and gymnastics classes when she was very young, and was introduced to musical theatre in elementary school when she was in a production of The Sound of Music. She continued dance and gymnastics and started performing in musicals in school and at a theatre camp, as well as taking voice lessons, piano lessons, music theory, and all different kinds of dance. In high school she performed in a few local professional productions. Eventually, she auditioned for colleges just in time for a global pandemic to hit and wipe out the entire industry that was her life goal to pursue…. But, it all worked out in the end. Between performing in zoom musicals and taking virtual ballet class in her freshman dorm room, beginning her professional career in the most uncertain of times proved to her that this was the correct career path to begin.
