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

Comedian, actor, television writer, author and musician Paul Reiser is one of Hollywood’s most prolific creatives.
On the heels of The Problem with People, an independent comedy shot entirely in Ireland which he wrote, produced, and starred in alongside Colm Meaney and Jane Levy, Reiser has released projects across a multitude of media formats.
There was Aliens: What If…? in which Carter Burke, Reiser’s iconic character from Aliens re-emerged in a concept comic book from Marvel comics.
Reiser co-wrote The New York Times Best-Seller What a Fool Believes, the candid, freewheeling memoir of his friend and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Michael McDonald from HarperCollins/DeyStreet.
In films, Paul reprised his role from BH Cop 1 and 2 in Netflix’s Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F and appeared in Magnolia Pictures’ comedy The Gutter, directed by Isaiah and Yassir Lester, premiering at SXSW.
He has been busy in TV as well. Appraising his role in Hulu’s critically-acclaimed comedy series Reboot from Modern Family creator Steve Levitan, Awards Daily wrote “Reiser truly excels, giving one of his very best performances…Here, he reminds us just how very funny and experienced he is in the world of television comedy.”
He also took his first step into bloody, superhero glory in Season 3 of Amazon Prime’s Emmy-nominated The Boys playing “The Legend,” and returns in the upcoming final season of the show.
And of course the return to his comedy roots with last year’s release of Life, Death and Rice Pudding, his first standup special in over 30 years.
Reiser is widely celebrated for his roles in two hit shows for Netflix: Stranger Things the company’s biggest series of all time— and Chuck Lorre’s The Kominsky Method, for which he received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor.
Mad About You, the long-running Emmy, Peabody, and Golden Globe-winning comedy that Reiser created and starred in with Helen Hunt returned as a limited series on Spectrum Originals.
Throughout his prolific career, Reiser has worked with both independent and mainstream filmmakers. Having earned acclaim for his supporting role in the Academy Award-winning film Whiplash, Reiser was also seen in frequent collaborator Jeff Baena’s The Little Hours and Horse Girl, which premiered at Sundance 2020, the fourth film the pair has worked on together. The veteran actor has garnered praise for notable performances in films such as Diner, Bye Bye Love, One Night At McCool’s, and The Thing About My Folks, which Reiser wrote for his co-star Peter Falk.
Reiser is a fixture behind the camera as well. He co-created and produced the sevenepisode series There’s Johnny, a fictional story set behind-the-scenes of Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show circa 1972, co-produced with director David Gordon Green. The show premiered to critical praise, with Decider saying There’s Johnny! is “a television
experience unlike any I’ve seen on TV in recent years” and “unfolds like a dream, a memory fondly recalled.”
As an author, Reiser’s first book, Couplehood, sold over two million copies and reached the number one spot on The New York Times bestsellers list. His subsequent books, Babyhood and Familyhood, were best sellers as well.
Voted by Comedy Central as one of the Top 100 Comedians of All Time, Reiser regularly per-forms sold-out standups at venues nationwide.
A SUNY Binghamton graduate of its prestigious music program, Reiser co-wrote the theme song for Mad About You, The Final Frontier, with Grammy-winning producer Don Was, and released an album of original songs with British singer-songwriter Julia Fordham called Unusual Suspects. Over the course of his career, Reiser has received multiple Emmys, Golden Globes, American Comedy Awards, and Screen Actors Guild nominations.
Reiser and his family reside in Los Angeles.
