Crimes of the Heart concludes Lakeshore Players Dorval’s 52nd season.

Meg, the middle sister went to LA to pursue a singing career but works in a dog food factory while Babe, the youngest, has just shot her husband and is facing the prospect of jail. The story follows their reunification as they each face their ‘crimes of the heart’.
