Wanda O’Connell
Welcome to my site!
Wanda began her acting career in the Boston, Massachusetts area in the late 1980’s singing in the chorus for musicals such as Anything Goes, Carousel, The King and I, Evita… There was no turning back after such joy! After studying acting at Northeastern University, taking workshops with Michael Shurtleff, and acting in plays, Wanda moved to New York City in 1996 where she worked on stage and in film until 2018. Paris is now Wanda’s home, where she teaches English to children, continues her acting in ‘Zooming Parts’ play readings, and pursues her love of drawing and all things French.
Comédie-Française – February 2022 with friends!
