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
Founder & Artistic Consultant

THE MODERN GENTLEMEN first rose to prominence as longtime members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band, Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons. Hailed as “The MODERN Day Keepers of the Classics”, they’ve earned acclaim for ushering in a NEW season of legendary harmony, connecting generations through timeless hits reimagined!
Individually, each member features their own distinctive voice and charismatic charm. Together, their harmonies are unparalleled with seamless transitioning between genres and eras that transcend time. What sets TMG apart is more than just their talent—it’s their genuine camaraderie, deep musical roots, and firsthand connection to many of the legends they honor. Unlike many tribute acts today that are assembled like actors in a musical, this dynamic quartet are the real deal—personally handpicked to join one of the most celebrated American bands in history. This unique pedigree has given them a depth, authenticity, and artistry that no other group can replicate.
Their electrifying performances feature an eclectic array of chart topping hits from Motown, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Eagles, Queen, The Bee Gees, Billy Joel, Doo Wop & more including a special tribute to Frankie Valli.
They’ve had the distinct honor and privilege of sharing the stage with many of their musical heroes such as The Beach Boys, The Manhattan Transfer, Smokey Robinson and most recently opening for Lionel Richie in Las Vegas. They’ve performed for presidents of The United States and royalty including a special performance for Prince William of Wales at the esteemed Arts Club in London. They’ve appeared on the world’s biggest stages including The National Concert Hall in Taipei, Taiwan, to multiple concert tours in the U.K. at Royal Albert Hall with the London Symphony Orchestra, The O2 Arena, Hampton Court and BBC Proms in the park for over 40,000 people. They represented their country on “A Capitol Fourth” in Washington D.C. with Michael McDonald, Patti LaBelle, John Williams and others, as well as two limited engagements on the Broadway stage. They’ve toured all over the U.S., Canada, U.K., Asia, Israel, Italy, Australia, and New Zealand. As PBS Television Stars, they’ve performed on 3 nationwide specials including the Emmy award winning, “Celebrating 100 Years of Music at The Redlands Bowl” and headlined in Las Vegas as well as having had their own residency in Atlantic City, NJ.
TMG has released three albums:
• THE MODERN GENTLEMEN: Volume 1
• The holiday album “You Make It Feel Like Christmas”, recorded at the legendary Village Studios in L.A. and distributed by The Orchard (Sony Music), featuring original songs written by multi-platinum, award winning songwriters as well as many familiar classics.
• And their latest, “Happiest Days”, which reinvents some of their favorite classics— anchored by the uplifting original title track and evolving their signature sound to a new level.
