About the Artist

Jasmine Nichelle is a Michigan/Ohio based actress and singer/songwriter with a focus in contemporary dramatic and comedic plays.

While acting came later in Nichelle's career, Nichelle has been writing music since three years old with her musician family. She has written, produced, and performed several scores for one acts, state wide talent competitions, devised collegiate work, and documentaries.

Jasmine also spent her time at Ithaca College rehabilitating and leading Black Artists United, a club in which she served as the President for four years, creating safe spaces and performance opportunities for artists of color through cabaret-fundraisers, workshops, and community service.

Jasmine's mainstage collegiate work (The Last Days of Judas Iscariot and Caesar) have been showcased at Ithaca College where she wrapped up her fourth and final year pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting in the Center for Music, Theater, and Dance last Spring.

She closed her favorite production that she has ever been in, Stupid Fucking Bird at the Hangar Theater in Ithaca, NY, playing Emma last fall and she recently originated the role of Agent Lee in The Pass at the Kitchen Theater in Ithaca, NY.

When Jasmine is not on stage, she can be found in a thrift shop with her headphones and iced mocha chai in tow or in front of her big window where the sun hits her floor just right reading the most corny romance novels. She can also be found working in a flower shop as a seasonal florist.

Jasmine is excited to collaborate and connect with fellow artists that hold culture and love ethic close to their artistry.

I had the incredible honor of addressing my class as the 2025 Student Commencement Speaker. While sitting next to Bob Iger was definitely an unforgettable experience, I felt honored to be selected by my classmates as a representative of our extremely unique cohort.

Teaching Artist at The Great Lakes Theater

New Photos!

I am thrilled to announce my employment at the Great Lakes Theater as a teaching artist for the 2025-2026 academic year! I am excited to be back in the classroom and I am looking forward to documenting it on my social media platforms to give rising artists a view into the industry post grad. Ohio, here I come!

This Spring I had the absolute joy of working with Nicole Meschi on my grad photos. I wanted to wrap up my time at Ithaca with photos that felt like the growth I knew I had made as a woman and an artist and she helped me do just that. Click the photo to see the amazing shoot I had with @nicolephotography.

This Spring I will be joining the Ensemble Theatre for their In Our Own Voices series and I couldn't be more grateful! Any chance I get to work on stories that could have been pulled from my neighbors or loved ones, I am reminded the power and necessity of storytelling. I look forward to continuing to build my Cleveland family.

Moving to Cleveland has been no easy feat and yet somehow I still have met truly wonderful people, learned new and surprising things about myself, and found moments and seasons of joy. Here are a few..
