Winter Park Arts Weekend ~ a Tapestry of Experiences is an annual four-day arts extravaganza celebrating arts and culture in Winter Park, the City of Arts & Culture, highlighting the 24 members of the Alliance. Festivities throughout the weekend will include dozens of community events and performances in Central Park as well as many cultural venues throughout the city.
Jasmine Forsberg is a New York City-based actress and songwriter. She was most recently seen on Broadway in STEPHEN SONDHEIM’S OLD FRIENDS at the Manhattan Theatre Club. Before, Jasmine spent three years playing Jane Seymour in SIX THE MUSICAL on Broadway and in the First National Tour.
Originally from Orlando, Florida, Jasmine has performed professionally since she was ten years old. She earned her BFA in Musical Theatre from Penn State University in 2021.
She's performed at Orlando Family Stage, Winter Park Playhouse and Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts.
In the summer of 2023, Jasmine made her Broadway debut as Maria Luisa in HERE LIES LOVE. The Tony Award-nominated groundbreaking musical experience — featuring Broadway’s first All-Filipino Cast — was created by David Byrne & Fatboy Slim, and directed by Alex Timbers. Her “rhapsodic acid-queen moment in 'Men Will Do Anything’” was celebrated by the Washington Post.
In addition to performing onstage, Jasmine writes her own music and is often in the recording booth. Her debut single, “do you”, was released in May 2024. Jasmine’s original music was also featured in the Hallmark film “One December Night” (in which she made her TV debut). She recorded her first animation voiceover as Mama Elephant in the Nick Jr. series, “Wonder Pets”, and will appear as the Game Host in the interactive Game of Life by tonies.
