​​John Oechslin’s (Ensemble) theatrical journey started in 2016 when he auditioned for his freshman high school musical Fiddler on the Roof and got the role of Sasha. He then went on to do many of his high school’s productions including Hello Dolly (Cornelius), Peter and the Starcatcher (Prentiss), King Lear (Kent), and Beauty and the Beast (Beast) which unfortunately did not see the stage due to Covid. He has also worked with Servant Stage on The Music Man (Ensemble) and Oklahoma Jr (Curly). He was a Principle in CPS’s Wanderlust Cabaret. He has also seen a small piece of the writers and directors chairs. He was the Narrator and CoWriter for Lovers and Liars, a tragedy about cheaters and players in high school, and he was the student director for GHMS’s productions of Hurricane Smith and the Garden of the Golden Monkey, which also did not see the stage due to Covid, and Haphazardly Ever After.
