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

Crazy Train™ is the ultimate touring Ozzy Osbourne Tribute show, Hosted by Vinny Cormier, the best Ozzy impersonator you can get, and supported by a Berklee level crew, including his son Dylan on guitar. Crazy train delivers a captivating show unlike no other tribute, musically and visually. The show is packed with Special Effects and “wow” moments you won’t forget! Crazy Train plays every show like it is LIVE AND LOUD 1993! Crazy Train rolls over all of the prince of darkness’ noteworthy hits anywhere from Sabbath to Patient #9.
Crazy Train is one of the very best rock tribute shows I’ve seen. They deliver an endlessly entertaining show focused on honoring Ozzy’s timeless catalog with a staggering dedication to detail.
Vinny Cormier’s performance as Ozzy is simply a must-see for reasons that go beyond the visuals. Yes, he looks eerily similar to the great man, and he’s mastered all of the mannerisms, but his greatest weapon is his voice. With this band, Cormier sings and performs like Osbourne at the peak of his power.
Guitarist Dylan Cormier must have spent 10,000 hours studying and practicing this material. One of New England’s most technically proficient axe-men, Cormier makes it look effortless as he attacks material from every era of Ozzy’s career with extraordinary accuracy, confidence and panache.
Bassist Mike Knowles and drummer Mike “Randy” Caliandro make for an explosive rhythm section that powers crazy train with lethal precision. Their dedication to keeping it in the pocket while instilling the music with an unpredictable edge put this show over the top.
The special effects and light show provide an appropriate aura of spookiness to complement one of the very best rock tribute shows on the road today. Add to that the perfect house mix and a painstaking commitment to detail, and you have an unbeatable rock show with Crazy Train™.”

VINNY CORMIER, VOCALS
Vinny Cormier has been a touring musician since 1977 traveling all over Canada and down the east coast working with acts such as Molly Hatchet, Eddie Money, Blue Oyster Cult, Quiet Riot, Steve Perry of Journey, Kansas, John Cafferty, Marshall Tucker and many more in a long list. “Not only does he look like him, but he sounds so spot on it’s scary! I’ve seen Ozzy 11 times, and I’ll go see you guys every time you’re in new England”- Brian F. Long time fan of Ozzy/Crazy Train.
DYLAN CORMIER, GUITAR
Dylan Cormier has been playing guitar in venues across New England since the age of 13. Opening with various acts such as Loverboy, Night Ranger, Quiet Riot, Saving Abel, Uncle Kracker, J. Geils Band and more. Having spent years studying Randy Rhoads and Zakk Wylde’s techniques, Dylan delivers the best representation of their tone and feel you can get.
MIKE CALIANDRO, DRUMS
Mike Caliandro is easily hands down one of the most technically procient, hard hitting, energetic, and down to earth drummers in the east coast. Winning countless percussion awards, along with teaching percussion to a national class drum corps, mike has no problem driving the tunes where they need to go.
MIKEY KNOWLES, BASS
Mike Knowles is one of the most aggressive bass players in the scene. A true shredder and master at his craft, gluing everything together with his slamming low end, he leaves you with nothing but a blown mind after the delivery of every lick slammed with conviction.
Great theatre requires talent, passion, and the support of our community. The Villages values the power of art and recognizes Significant Productions’ role in enriching our lifestyle. Join them, as we have, in ensuring that live theater continues to thrive.
