WASHINGTON — Performers return to some Metro station entrances this summer, and Tuesday night, open auditions were held at Metro’s headquarters.
If chosen, performers like singer Skylar Greene won’t get paid, but they will get plenty of exposure.
Others who turned out to perform in front of a panel of a half-dozen judges included the following:
— Mana Eini, a rapper who writes her own stuff, and can deliver it in both English and Farsi.
— Lelia-Michelle Walker, who performed classical music on a viola.
— William Casanova, a singer who belted out a version of Sam Smith’s “Lay Me Down.”
– A dance group called Dance Society that includes teenagers and people in their twentysomethings.
Some of those who tried out also will be picked to perform in the lunchtime Music on the Mall series held Tuesdays and Thursdays this summer on the National Mall.
