Beyond his presidential term, John remained deeply involved, continuing as a board member and house manager into the 1952–53 and 1953–54 seasons.

He contributed lighting design for productions such as Strange Bedfellows, Light Up the Sky, and Blithe Spirit, and worked tirelessly on set construction and decoration for shows including The Silver Whistle, The Women, and The Willow and I. He also supervised youth casts, ran sound, and even returned to the stage as Hiram Stanley in Gold in the Hills in 1953.
