WASHINGTON (Map, News) - Start warming up the vocal cords.

Metro is holding auditions next week for D.C. performers to showcase their talents at select Metrorail station entrances this year.

This is the second season of MetroPerforms!, a joint effort by Metro and the D.C. Arts Commission to find acts to perform at city subway stations.

Auditions will take place May 2 from 5 to 8 p.m. and May 3 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Metro Headquarters, on 600 Fifth Street in northwest Washington.

Metro officials have asked would-be performers to provide a photograph and a one-page biography or resume when they come in to audition.

Selected artists will perform from late spring to late fall and again during the holiday season.
