Bio
Geoffrey Wade
Deirdre is energetic, personable, highly skilled, and THE person you want on your team for any project associated with the arts in general and theater in particular. Her skills are first-class, but it is her generous, attentive, "simpatico" personality that especially makes her the outstanding element wherever she works. You can't do better than Deirdre.
Andy Cohen
Deirdre was our GM for the world premiere of HEATHERS THE MUSICAL in Los Angeles. We could not have put on the show without her. Her ability to juggle a thousand things at once, manage cast & crew (and producers) and keep the show going was instrumental in a hugely successful run. We adore her and I'd work with her again in a New York (or LA) minute!
