Greenville, Texas’ history as a center for high quality entertainment goes back to the 1800s. Multiple opera houses merged with strong farming operations fusing an arts and agriculture vibe that continues today. The cornerstone of entertainment in the area is the Greenville Municipal Auditorium (GMA) which underwent a major upgrade over the summer. The community celebrates a grand re-opening of the venue on September 25. A full schedule of upcoming shows starting this fall includes some legacy country acts, tribute bands, theatrical and ballet performances, and concerts by local and visiting musicians presenting chamber, symphony, and jazz. READ MORE
