"MetroPerforms!" looking for singers, dancers, musicians, poets and more

Metro’s Art in Transit Program is inviting local performers of all genres—singers, dancers, musicians, poets and more—to showcase their talents at selected Metrorail station entrances this summer.  It all starts with auditions, which will be held tonight (Tuesday, June 4) from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Metro headquarters, 600 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC. 

In addition to the chance to perform at Metro stations, artists may be selected to perform at Music on the Mall, a program developed by Metro in cooperation with the National Park Service and the Office of Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton.

Performances at Metro stations and on the Mall will take place from June through September. Selected artists will perform on a volunteer basis and are expected to adhere to performance program guidelines.
