WHITNEY MORSE on
The Sharon®L. Morse
PERFORMING ARTS CENTER
Dear Patron of the Arts,
Welcome to The Sharon L. Morse Performing Arts Center!
This year marks a very special milestone—10 years since The Sharon first opened its doors. What began in 2015 as a bold dream has grown into a vibrant home for live performance, rooted in the adventurous and artistic spirit of my grandmother, Sharon L. Morse.
Over the past decade, we’ve been honored to earn your trust, show by show, standing ovation by standing ovation. Whether you’re here tonight to experience a beloved Broadway tour, a favorite artist, or something entirely new, know that every performance has been thoughtfully curated by our passionate team of artists and arts administrators.
As we celebrate our first ten years, we’re also stepping into an exciting new chapter: The Sharon is now proudly powered by Significant Productions, a registered nonprofit dedicated to creating meaningful, memorable arts experiences in our community. With this new foundation, we’re not only preserving what makes The Sharon special, we’re building toward a future filled with bold ideas, diverse stories, and even more opportunities to surprise and delight you.
Thank you for being part of this journey. We’re so glad you’re here. Enjoy the show, and here’s to the next ten years of discovery, connection, and applause.
See You at The Sharon,
Whitney Morse

Thank you to our Vibe Setters and anonymous donors.
A Man Named Cash features vocalist Eric Hofmanis, who was personally appointed by John Carter Cash and The Cash Estate as lead singer for their acclaimed Johnny Cash The Official Concert Experience 100+ city tour. This is the only live concert tour ever produced by The Cash Family Estate and A Man Named Cash has the singer they chose to represent that show - giving this show a provenance like no other Johnny Cash Tribute!
Recognized by fans as one of the most honest and true representations of Johnny Cash live in concert, Eric’s deeply resonant voice and profound embodiment of Cash’s spirit will leave you captivated as he performs an amazing array of songs from his nearly 50 year career - including I Walk The Line, Ring Of Fire, Sunday Morning Coming Down and the 2004 Grammy Award winning song Hurt.
Eric is joined onstage by Megan Houde in the role of June Carter, whose vibrant presence brings a perfect balance of joy, love, and tenderness to the performance. Their remarkable onstage chemistry, reminiscent of Cash and Carter themselves, promises an unforgettable experience that will leave you enchanted and uplifted as they perform such as hits as Jackson and It Ain’t Me, Babe and many more.
The band also features the incredible stylings of lead guitarist Scotty Mac, an inductee of the Blues Hall of Fame.
