About ME

---

Jasmine Hurt (she/her) started at an early age in the performing arts, growing up in Charlotte, North Carolina and Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Now, actor, singer, artist, and filmmaker is a lover of arts, painting, traveling, gem mining, and the beach! She is the former Miss Ponte Vedra and Miss Senior High of Northeast Florida. During these formative years, she was heavily involved in community theatre, starred in Sister Act at Theatre Jacksonville (non-for-profit), and earned the President’s Volunteer Service Award. This early involvement formed her beliefs and fueled her passion about enriching and educating the community through the performing arts and diversity programs! 

Jasmine is a recent graduate (May ’24) from the University of North Carolina School of Arts, School of Drama, in Winston-Salem, NC and obtained her BFA in Acting. Highlighted past credits at UNCSA include Yvette Poitier in Mother Courage and Her Children, and Heidi Rodewald/ensemble in the musical Passing Strange. She was actively involved in the student organization, Artists of Color, where she held the position of Vice President of Advocacy for the past two years. 

In November of 2023, she participated in a workshop/reading for a newly commissioned play, Heritage, in collaboration between Wake Forest University, School of Divinity, NC Black Repertory, and Wake the Arts. Since then, the play debuted at the International Black Theatre Festival in July 2024 and Jasmine played the lead role, Mahalia (adult)!

Additionally, Jasmine has been involved in several creative projects including her own productions of short films, Maneater (recently selected, screened, & won Best Narrative Short @ The 2024 Renaissance Black Film Fest), NUMB, and A Love Letter to My Bush, that she starred in, wrote and co-directed.  

Currently, Jasmine is pursuing a professional career in acting in theatre, film, television, and multimedia streaming platforms while giving back to the community in the performing arts!
