ABOUT JAIMEE LEE GASTON
For my fellow Gen Z-ers who won’t read past the first sentence: Sharpay Evans if she was written by Greta Gerwig, majored in Gender Studies, loved Shakespeare and survived on Celsius and tofu.
For those who want the Director’s Cut: Jaimee Lee Gaston is a New York City based Actor/Singer/Dancer/Choreographer. Hailing from the land down under, Jaimee loves to bring her vibrant, silly and hard-working Australian nature to everything she creates.
Jaimee’s love for the stage was born at the age of four, when she played the role of ‘Clara’ in her studio’s production of ‘The Nutcracker’ a casting choice based on her animated expression, rather than her actual dance ability! However, she decided she needed more performance opportunities (a difficult yearning to appease in a tiny outback town). Yet thanks to her older sisters’ enrolling in drama and her undying need to be involved in anything they are, with some heavy nagging, two years later at the age of six she found her life’s passion of acting. Whether it’s Shaw, cabarets or musical theatre, Jaimee feels incredibly lucky to be actively pursuing a career she’s always dreamed of, in the city she’s always dreamed about.
A 2025 graduate of Circle in The Square Theatre School, Jaimee is fueled by creation and a fervor for feeling. Circle in The Square offered Jaimee many opportunities, not just as an actor but also as a choreographer. The Assistant Choreographer to Billy Bustamante for ‘The Rosetta Project’ by Jenn Grinels, Choreographer for ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ directed by Mark Barford, and several solo pieces, Jaimee has worked across projects vastly differing in style and scale.
A bubbly storyteller, Jaimee is passionate about working in female led/centred projects and hopes to open hearts and cultivate action with her performance.
Reviews
“Who doesn’t like the song “Gimme, Gimme” (Thoroughly Modern Millie), which was performed enthusiastically by Jaimee Lee Gaston. Great song, great moment”
“every song was an 11:00 number belted by each cast member until blood came spewing from their ears…well, not really but with the same gusto that it would take to do this.”
“The 18-year-olds have been selected to take part in a VCE showcase of Victoria’s top Drama and Theatre Studies students”
“Jaimee has acted since she was six, having followed her older sisters into drama classes and never looked back. ‘I think the nerves before performing are addictive; I just love the feeling before a performance. When I’m playing a character, I’m focused on the moment, and that for me is mindfulness,’ she said.”
