JJohn Luke Osorio became interested in theatre when he was 14 years old after seeing his very first show. In the weeks following he auditioned for The Prince and the Pauperand began his journey pursuing acting. It wasn't until the summer of 2009 that John Luke was asked to be an intern at a Valley Youth Theatre summer camp. There he discovered music directing and asked specifically to intern under Mark Feary and observe the MD position. The following summer John Luke again served at VYT but this time not as an intern but as Music Director for Honk! Jr., which became his first job. John Luke has since music directed productions of The Aristocats, Cinderella, The Jungle Book, The Last Five Years, and the award winning original production of Merry Christmas Frakenstein. He has also served as the Assistant MD for VYT's Annie, Hairspray, and Grand Canyon University's The Frogs. John Luke serves on the board of directors for Rising Arts Theatre slated to open with its first production in December. He also teaches a small studio of piano students.
