WHITNEY MORSE on
The Sharon L. Morse ®
PERFORMING ARTS CENTER
Dear Patron of the Arts
,
Welcome to The Sharon® L. Morse Performing Arts Center! We are so grateful to re-open our doors after such a trying season. We invite you back to view the national and international performing art tours we host here for your entertainment. Much like the building’s namesake, my grandmother, Sharon L. Morse, we love all varieties of the performing arts here. It is in her memory that I, along with my amazing team of artists and arts administrators, strive to bring many different types of the highest quality entertainment here to The Sharon. Since opening in 2015, we hope we have established a relationship of trust; that any show at The Sharon will be a show worth seeing. Perhaps you find yourself here today to see a concert of one of your favorite musicians, or to take in the national tour of a Broadway show. Either way, we encourage you to consider trying out a new show that perhaps you haven’t heard of before, knowing that it has been intentionally curated by our team. We welcome you to The Sharon: a place for you to see an old favorite, but also a place to discover your new favorite. I sincerely hope you enjoy the show today, and I look forward to seeing you here again soon!
Whitney Morse
See You at The Sharon,
Artistic Director

BIOGRAPHY NBC embarked on a LIVE television event that had never been attempted before. The network set out to find the world’s next magic superstar. NBC searched the GLOBE to locate the world’s top 10 Mystifiers, and then had them compete for America’s vote on LIVE NETWORK TELEVISION. There were no second chances, no retakes, and no room for error! For an exhilarating 6 weeks, the NBC series PHENOMENON was broadcast into MILLIONS of households across the country. In the end, the viewing public voted for their favorite entertainer each week. Ultimately, the fate of the winner was in hands of the viewers at home. With electric performances that reached out and enchanted the American public, including judges Criss Angel, Uri Geller AND a panel of celebrity guests; MIKE SUPER proved he was the best of the best, and was awarded the prestigious title of ‘THE PHENOMENON.’ Through spectacular illusions and his own inimitable down-to-earth style and personality, Mike Super has pioneered a new form of magic that transcends the “trick.” As a Top Finalist on NBC’s #1 rated summer series America’s Got Talent and chosen to be on the Season Premier episode of Penn & Teller Fool Us - Mike has emerged as magic’s newest celebrity, with a legion of fans numbering in the millions. Mike Super’s life has been characterized by an obsession and passion for magic. He has astonished millions of people with his craft, including the Hollywood elite. Mike has amazed Howie Mandel, Louie Anderson, Howard Stern, Jeffery Katzenberg, Ariana Grande, Tina Fey, Heidi Klum, Nick Cannon, Penn & Teller, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Joan Jett, Train, Kenny Chesney and Ellen DeGeneres to name but a few! Mike’s ever-growing popularity has garnered him many prestigious awards and honors. Mike was named THE PERFORMING ARTS ENTERTAINER OF THE YEAR for two consecutive years. He was honored by the International Magician's Society where he was presented with the prestigious Performing Arts Entertainer of the Year award, in front of an enthusiastic 1600+ audience! It was a great evening, and this marked Mike officially winning the award BACK to 4

BIOGRAPHY BACK! A rare and impressive feat considering this The Merlin Award is bestowed only to those who have achieved the highest level in their craft both nationally and internationally. The criteria that the IMS voting members consider are talent, showmanship, originality, skills, and above all the rare ability to entertain. The Merlin Award is considered to be the Oscars of Magic. Mike shares this award with the likes of David Copperfield, Penn & Teller, Criss Angel & Siegfried and Roy. Mike’s other honors include being named Performing Arts Entertainer of the Year, Best Performing Artist of the Year, Best Male Performer and Best Novelty Live Performer. His many television appearances include being named the winner of NBC’s television show Phenomenon, numerous appearances on the French television show LA SOIREEDE L’ETRANGE, one of the presenters and artists to appear at the nationally acclaimed Pollstar awards held at the prestigious Nokia Theater and recently appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Despite all this, Mike humbly insists, it is the loyalty of his fan base that has been the most rewarding. His fans call themselves “The Superfreaks” and they number in the millions.
