Get ready to turn up the nostalgia and sing your heart out! Thrasher Opera House is thrilled to welcome synthpop sweethearts Shannon Curtis and Jamie Hill for their new concert-style theater show, 80s kids. This high-energy joyride through the best of 1980s synthpop is expertly wrapped in funny, moving stories about growing up in the decade of neon and big dreams. This event will take place on Thursday, May 07, 2026, at 7:30 p.m.

From the irresistible melodies of a-ha and OMD to the electrifying beats of Depeche Mode and New Order, 80s kids are a love letter to the era of iconic anthems and underdog heroes. The performance offers more than just a tribute; it provides a surprising and welcome emotional connection that resonates with audiences of all ages.

Attendees will experience all-time classics from Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, Alphaville, Soft Cell, The Human League, and many more. Performed in a wildly fun and audience-interactive style, the show makes these legendary tracks feel as fresh as the first time they hit the airwaves.
