PATH Wants Musicians, Dancers, Poets For Shows At 5 Stations

HOBOKEN, NJ — In partnership with the Hudson County Office of Cultural & Heritage Affairs, Port Authority officials are hosting auditions for singers, dancers, musicians, comedians and poets who are interested in using five PATH stations in Hudson County as stages to express their artistic talents.

As part of the new "PATH Performs! Art in Transit" program, selected artists will be given the opportunity to perform on a volunteer basis and share their talents with thousands of riders passing through the following Hudson County PATH stations: Hoboken, Journal Square, Harrison, Newport and Exchange Place.

Currently, the Grove Street station is not part of the schedule due to space restrictions and other considerations, Port Authority officials stated.

The registration deadline is March 21. Auditions are scheduled between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Wednesday, March 27 and Thursday, March 28 at the William Brennan Courthouse, 583 Newark Avenue in Jersey City.

To register for either audition night, go to www.panynj.gov/PATHPerforms to complete an audition application, learn about performance guidelines and obtain additional information.

According to Port Authority officials, performances will be permitted only in program-approved designated areas within the stations. Performers are strictly prohibited from impeding the safe flow and movement of passengers entering and exiting the stations, and must adhere to performance guidelines and PATH rules and regulations.
