John Sexton

John is co-Founder, Managing Director, and Director of Education for FuseBox Theatre. He currently directs the FuseBox Ensemble in improvisation.

John has trained and performed at Chicago’s Annoyance Theater and Second City, and with members of the Upright Citizen’s Brigade, iO, and Dad’s Garage. John is also a co-founder of Improv Nashville, where he served as Director of Development, instructor, and performer in the Mainstage cast before leaving to form FuseBox Theatre.

John has a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Vanderbilt University and a B.S. in Physics from Rhodes College. You can call him Dr. Sexton if you really want to inflate his ego, or you can remind him that a Ph.D. in science doesn’t help much on stage if you want to take him down a notch.

John also specializes in building awesome websites (like this one!) with WordPress. Interested in hiring John to re-define your web presence? Send him an Email here.
