About Me: 

Picture
Jahmeel is a humble, small town boy from Dundee, MI.  He stumbled through his first play as Sandy The Candy Vendor in Brigadoon as a high school freshman, and has never looked back since! 

He received his Bachelor's Degree in Theatre at Eastern Michigan University in 2013,  where he experimented with so many different types of performing arts: He even created his own Comedy troupe, Laugh-a-Minute Enterprises, the only Student Organization on Campus dedicated to all forms of Comedy! 

 He took a brief Hiatus to study other aspects of acting;  including a 4 month internship with Walt Disney World, which was one of the most magical experiences of his life! He joined and  can still be found on the mainstage roster Comedysportz Detroit roster; an interactive Improv Comedy troupe. 

With his training both behind and on stage and camera, He is finishing his third and final year in the MFA Acting program at Regent University in Virginia Beach, VA, where he currently resides.   He looks forward to becoming an established  professional actor and future theatre educator.

Resume 

The Tempest: 
​"...He (Caliban) seeks to be liberated from Prospero’s yoke by means of Stefano (Jahmeel Powers) and Trinculo (Jason Osorio), who form a comic duo. By turns buffoonish and wry, earnest and knowing, their performance falls over the edge of absurdity, as it should." 
-Eleanor Cade Busby | July 18, 2016 
​The School for Sausage: 
"In typical Commedia Dell’arte fashion, this story ends happily, with the forgiveness of debt and the marriage of the young lovers, Isabella and Lelio, portrayed very well by Mariah Colby and Jahmeel Powers. (Their lovelorn scenes alone are worth the price of admission.)"
