Vickie Long

Vickie has the absolute pleasure of being Chair of CODS – a role that perfectly blends her passion for performing with her knack for organising (and her impressive ability to juggle about 17 things at once).

She first joined CODS as a performer and was instantly hooked by the buzz of the stage and the incredible community surrounding it. Since then, she’s been part of countless shows, working with a wonderfully bonkers bunch of talented people who bring the magic of CODS to life.

As Chair, Vickie supports every part of the society – from the first rehearsal to the final curtain call – helping to keep things running smoothly and making sure everyone feels welcome, included, and celebrated. Whether it’s answering questions, solving problems, or just being the loudest voice in the standing ovation, she’s at the heart of what makes CODS so special.

Fun facts about Vickie:

• Has a sixth sense for when snacks are needed in rehearsals (and always brings the good ones).

• Can run a committee meeting, fix a costume, and warm up for a tap number all at the same time.

• Once got locked out of a theatre mid-show and climbed through a dressing room window to get back in.

• Has a personal motto: "If in doubt, jazz hands."
