Sharon & Bram Return To Young People's Theatre For A Fond, Final Farewell

Young People's Theatre (YPT) is thrilled to open its 53rd Season with an event 40 years in the making: SHARON, BRAM & FRIENDS - A 40th Anniversary Sing-Along Celebration. This event is a special farewell benefit concert, offering one last chance to see Sharon and Bram, before they retire, in the place it all began back in 1978: the Mainstage at YPT.

On Friday, September 28th, Skinnamarink your way to Front Street for what promises to be a truly unforgettable evening of songs and nostalgia. It's an extraordinary opportunity to reminisce while introducing a whole new generation to the music of these legendary performers.

The event features a special extended performance of Sharon, Bram & Friends, pre- and post-show meet and greet receptions with food, drink, a photo booth and activities for young people - plus a gift bag that includes a special Sharon and Bram CD.

Since 1978, Sharon Hampson and Bram Morrison have been pre-eminent in all aspects of family entertainment across North America as members of the trio "Sharon, Lois & Bram". Together, the threesome produced over twenty recordings, beginning with their iconic 'One Elephant, Deux Elephants', three song-books, six national TV specials, sixty-five episodes of The Elephant Show, and fifty-two of Skinnamarink TV. They have appeared in every major concert hall in Canada, and many in the United States including Carnegie Hall, The Lincoln Center and the White House in Washington just to name a few. They have received countless awards, including Gold and Platinum Records and JUNO awards for Best Children's Album. To date, they have sold over 3 million albums worldwide. For their years of work providing the best in participatory music for children and their families, Sharon and Bram have been inducted into The Order of Canada, the highest honour in the country.
