Shannon Curtis: 80s kids at Greenville Municipal Auditorium

Shannon Curtis is a singer, songwriter, musician, storyteller, and author working in the bright world of synthpop and artpop. She built a following through a string of inventive pop releases and live shows that blend music with narrative, and her recent 80s kids productions lean hard into the sounds, textures, and big emotions of the decade that gave us MTV. Her albums 80s kids (2025) and 80s kids 2 (2026) collect the songs from the show, which has become a favorite on theater stages across the country.

The show is a full production rather than a simple tribute: original songs written in the spirit of the decade, presented with vintage keyboards, neon staging, and the style that defined eighties pop. Fans of 80s radio will hear familiar energy throughout, while the songs themselves stay distinctly Curtis's own.

Greenville Municipal Auditorium

The Greenville Municipal Auditorium sits on Washington Street in downtown Greenville, a historic venue that has hosted everything from community theater to national touring acts for decades. Its classic hall offers a comfortable, close-up concert experience, and it has become a regular stop for performers touring through Northeast Texas.

From 3870 County Road 45080, the drive to Greenville runs about an hour and fifteen minutes down US-69, past Bonham and into Hunt County. It is an easy pick for a Saturday night, and Greenville's downtown square is worth a walk before the show.

Why it matters for the area

Northeast Texas may be rural, but it is not short on entertainment options. Between the Choctaw venues in Oklahoma, Buffalo Joe's in Paris, and theaters like the Greenville Municipal Auditorium, there is a steady calendar of live music within an hour or so of Arthur City. Shows like this one are part of what makes the region a realistic place to live without giving up nights out.
