Narrative:

The captain rang the intercom system to request that I come to the cockpit. He then informed me that a diversion to cleveland might be necessary. We were losing oil pressure in one of the engines. I told him that I would update the other flight attendant on board. I then returned to the cabin to tell flight attendant #2 what was happening. As we were talking, the intercom rang again. The captain asked me to come to the cockpit. He told me that we would indeed be diverting to cleveland in 10-12 mins. When I asked if an evacuate/evacuation would be necessary, he said no. He told me that we had lost the oil pressure in engine #1 and that he had shut it down. Even though he did not anticipate that an evacuate/evacuation would be necessary, we discussed the signal to be used just in case. He expected a routine landing in the time discussed. He then informed the passenger. We landed and taxied to the gate with no problem. Once we arrived at the gate, the agent and mechanics boarded to discuss the situation with the captain. The station manager then informed the passenger that they were being re-booked on another air carrier to dca. Everyone deplaned in a very orderly fashion. The aircraft was taken OTS, since it was necessary to fly in mechanics from ZZZ to fix the problem. The entire crew then deadheaded home. The entire incident was handled with the utmost excellence and professionalism by our captain and first officer.
