Walsh's theater work in Chicago included starring roles in productions of "Flesh and Blood," "Moon under Miami," "Troilus and Cressida," and "Born Guilty," which she also performed as a radio play on NPR. To further her acting career, Walsh relocated to New York City, where she joined the comedy troupe, Burn Manhattan, honing her comedic skills in a number of Off-Broadway plays, including "Flight Courier" and "The Four Twins."

While still performing theater in Chicago, Walsh branched out to film as well with roles in two independent films, "Normal Life" (1996), and "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer" (1998). She also starred as a kleptomaniac in the short film "Peppermills" (1997), which won Best Short Film at the Berlin Film Festival in 1998.
