Metro to Hold Auditions for 'MetroPerforms!'

WASHINGTON (AP) — Metro is looking for dancers, musicians, poets and others to entertain at summer performances outside rail stations.

Metro's Art in Transit Program is holding auditions for the "MetroPerforms!" program Friday at its headquarters in Washington. The auditions are first come, first served and will be held from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Performers selected by Metro will get to demonstrate their talents at selected Metrorail station entrances this summer. Artists volunteer their time and must pass a background check.

They may also be selected to perform at the Music on the Mall lunchtime performance series.
