Gary Hasely-Nejrup

Gary steps into the role of Vice Chair with a wealth of experience and a brilliantly organised approach to everything he does. Having performed in many CODS productions over the years, he knows exactly what it takes to bring a show together, both on stage and behind the scenes.

From memorable roles like Lord Farquaad in Shrek to The Toymaker in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Gary has been a familiar and much-loved face in our productions. Now, as Vice Chair, he supports the running of the society, helping keep everything on track and moving forward.

Reliable, thoughtful and always prepared, Gary is the kind of person you want in your corner, whether it’s for a quick question, a steady hand, or a perfectly timed bit of show wisdom.

Fun facts about Gary:

• Is rarely seen without a plan (and usually a backup plan too).
• Has a talent for staying calm, no matter what’s happening backstage.
• Secretly enjoys a well-organised spreadsheet almost as much as a standing ovation.
