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,

Significant Productions

Two Men – Two Pianos – One Extraordinary Band!

Piano Men: Generations isn’t just a concert—it’s a high-octane, emotionally charged musical journey led by a father-son duo and a world-class band that takes audiences on a ride they won’t forget. At its heart are Terry and Nick—father and son, bonded by blood and a deep love for the music of Billy Joel and Elton John. Their on-stage chemistry is genuine, spontaneous, and moving—sometimes funny, always magnetic.

Terry, a seasoned musician with decades of orchestral and rock ‘n’ roll experience, commands the stage with authority and heart. Nick brings fresh energy, charisma, and powerhouse vocals, effortlessly blending his style with his dad’s.

Elevating the show is the live band—an electrifying ensemble of elite musicians who are stars in their own right. Guitar solos soar, bass lines groove, and the rhythm section drives the performance with precision. At the core is drummer Mike Richau—the visual and sonic heartbeat of the band. With jaw-dropping stick flips, relentless energy, and razor-sharp timing, he turns every show into a spectacle. One moment he’s laying down a subtle groove, the next he’s launching into a thunderous solo—sticks flying, crowd roaring.

From the first chord to the final encore, the show is a rollercoaster of iconic hits, delivered with authenticity, showmanship, and a deep sense of legacy. The result? A celebration of music, family, and unforgettable moments that span decades and bring generations together.

Whether you grew up on the vinyl of the ’70s or are discovering this music for the first time, Piano Men: Generations hits where it matters most—in the soul.
