MetroPerforms Auditions

Dozens turned out to audition for MetroPerforms. Forty-two people showed up Thursday night for the first tryouts. The program is a partnership between metro transit and the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities. Next tryouts are from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday at Metro headquarters at 600 Fifth Street, NW.

Performers need to provide a photograph and a one-page biography or resume when they come in to audition.

Washington DC Idol?

Been looking for your big break? Next week, Metro and the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities will hold auditions for live performances at select Washington subway stations, as the transit agency welcomes entertainment for the first time in its 31 years.

Auditions will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. May 12 at the very un-Kennedy Center-esque Metro headquarters, 600 Fifth St. NW.
