Bio
Born in San Francisco, CA and raised in the Marina District, Deirdre learned at a young age that you could get free snowcones from grown-ups by looking cute. This talent was wasted when her family moved to Beaver Cleaver-ville (aka North Stockton) away from all the kind Italians. While the Sargent family use to own the vast majority of land from Northern Marin into the Gold Country - that was 100 years ago. What happened? No one knows but rumours of a card game, too much whiskey and a goat still circulate around Jackson to this day. Stockton wasn't bad, they had racquetball & the High School mascot was named after a prophylactic.

Deirdre attended Lincoln High School, which she adored, once she toasted all the people that made fun of her at the prom and ruined her dress with that pigs blood.

After being run out of town on a rail (for the Prom incident), Deirdre started College of the Sequoias. During this time she worked for the California Shakespeare Festival, was the President of Delta Psi Omega and raised so much hell that they are still talking about it to this day. She also started her career of corset wearing portraying "Janet" in The Rocky Horror Picture Show for 5 years under the screen, on stage and with a Rocky themed catering company. Past classmates include 2 homosexuals, 1 Marine, 1 felon wanted in 5 states, 10 drunk losers, 2 housewives living in Tulare, 1 major film executive and a fellow Soiled Dove (Tulip).

Deirdre moved to Los Angeles where she attended The American Academy of Dramatic Arts. It was there that she got the nickname "Dre". She says "It was just a butch thing that a bunch of us girls thought up while we were drinking beer and shooting pool in some dive in Pasadena." It was also at the Academy where she met and still mourns her mentor Bryn Morgan. Her high point at the Academy was on graduation night where her and a few classmates had a night of drunken debauch. They broke at least 8 laws. Gee, is the Academy still having open bar parties for their graduating Production Company kids? Hmmmm. At least WE were over 21.

She started working the California Renaissance Pleasure Faires in 1989 and started directing shows in 1991. She directed & performed some of the best quality Shakespeare shows on that site until they found out about the Prom incident. She has been working as pseudo-staff ever since. She found new direction in life by playing Wendy to the troupe of Lost Boys also known as Bruno. "They saved my life. They are Gods. I love my boys! Jason, Ron, Bob, Tim, Kevin, Michael, the Professor and Mary Ann. The list goes on and all I can say about Dave Ricker is...You have no idea!" In an effort to get back to the theatre she loves, she started the Soiled Doves in 1998 on a bet. http://www.soileddoves.com/ Gerald Zepeda once said, "If it's funny once, it's funny a thousand times." She took this to heart and ran with it.

What Now? Well, now with all the spare time and change that she has collected, she has been running the Queens Court Guild at the Southern California Renaissance Pleasure Faire since 2003, is now the reigning Queen Elizabeth at the Northern California Renaissance Faire and is trying to get a job that has nothing to do with Faire. Now that Deirdre's father has made the National political scene, Deirdre wants high level introductions at the best Georgetown parties. She planned to meet Socks, the First Cat and Buddy, the First Dog. But now Socks is living with that nice Secretary lady and Buddy is deceased. Life sucks. When asked what she would say if she could meet the former President, she replied "I'll sing him whatever he wants and in a corset too! By the way, when do I get paid for this?"
