Winchester Local Sydney Shepherd Featured in Walnut Hill’s Production of Crimes of the Heart

Natick, MA – Sydney Shepherd of Winchester, MA will play the role of Babe Botrelle in Walnut Hill School for the Arts’ autumn production of Crimes of the Heart later this month.

Set in rural Mississippi, the irreverent comedy of Crimes of the Heart tells the story of three eccentric sisters who reunite in the final hours of their grandfather’s life, each facing their own peculiar set of challenges and each with her own unique strength. Performances will take place on November 14, 15 & 16 at 8:00pm and November 17 at 2:00pm at Walnut Hill’s Keiter Center for the Performing Arts in Natick, MA.

Shepherd, a junior at Walnut Hill, has also performed in the school’s production of Alexander and the No Good, Terrible, Horrible, Very Bad Day (various roles). Outside of Walnut Hill, the theater major has played the role of Vivian Kensington in Legally Blonde at Stoneham Theatre, and has appeared in multiple productions at Winchester Cooperative Theatre.
