Andy Paris is about to pack his bags and leave his hometown, after several weeks playing multiple roles in this year’s Mickey Kaplan New American Play Prize winner “A Sleeping Country” by Melanie Marnich.

 

Paris, a Seven Hills School grad, visits his alma mater, and drama teacher Patty Flanigan, on Friday.

 

Paris appeared in Flanigan’s plays in seventh through 12th grades. Patty says, “Andy has always had the ability to play a character with truth and warmth.  If you see him in “A Sleeping Country,” you’ll see him play three characters (very different people) but all with that heart-stopping honesty.”

 

He’ll talk to students about his work in the theater since he graduated in 1989.

“A Sleeping Country” continues through this weekend.
