Episode 56 — Performing On Broadway With Jasmine Forsberg '21

Penn State Alumni Association Season 3 Episode 56

Jasmine Forsberg '21 is an emerging star of Broadway...and she's a Penn Stater!

Forsberg is currently performing in the hit Broadway musical "Six" after touring the country for over a year in the First National Tour. Last summer, Jasmine made her Broadway debut in the all-Filipino cast of "Here Lies Love."

In addition to her successes on stage, Jasmine starred in the 2021 Hallmark movie "One December Night," which featured her singing her own original music.

A talented songwriter, Jasmine's music is also featured in "Results Will Vary," a 45-minute musical sketch comedy show that prepares incoming students for life at Penn State and is performed during each New Student Orientation program at Penn State University Park.
