PERFORMING ARTS CENTER®
Dear Patron of the Arts, Welcome to The Sharon 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 Founder & Artistic Consultant Significant Productions

2026 HONKY-TONK CIRCUS TOUR The Honky-Tonk Circus Tour doesn’t ease you into nostalgia — it kicks the doors open and throws you headfirst back into the nights when country music owned the world. This is more than a concert. It’s a two-hour, high-voltage collision of memory, music, lights, and pure country adrenaline — built for the fans who lived it, and the new generation finding out what they missed. Fronted by Nashville hit songwriter and road-tested entertainer Jeremy McComb, the Honky-Tonk Circus brings the sound, swagger, and larger-than-life energy of ’90s country roaring back to the stage. McComb’s songs have been part of projects selling more than 6 million units, including a Grammy-nominated film soundtrack, and with 120+ shows a year across the U.S. and Europe, he’s built a reputation for one thing: walking onstage and leaving nothing behind. This isn’t a tribute band playing dress-up. This is a big-league, arena-style country experience — packed with the songs that raised a generation, shook dance floors, filled truck radios, and turned Friday nights into something legendary. From the anthems of Garth Brooks and Brooks & Dunn to the firepower of Shania Twain, Toby Keith, and the icons who made ’90s country unstoppable, every song hits like a memory with the volume turned all the way up. The crowd doesn’t just listen — they sing, shout, dance, and relive the soundtrack of their lives. Backed by a high-impact light show and more than $130,000 in touring production, the Honky-Tonk Circus doesn’t look like a throwback show. It looks like a headliner. It feels like a headliner. And from the first chorus to the final encore, it delivers like one. Built for theaters, festivals, fairs, casinos, and packed-out venues, this show turns strangers into a choir, seats into dance floors, and an ordinary night into the kind of country music party people talk about long after the lights come up. The Honky-Tonk Circus Tour isn’t about remembering the good old days. It’s about bringing them back — louder, bigger, and wilder than ever.
