Meet Me @Metro to Celebrate Transit and Performing Arts
The third annual Meet Me @Metro, an event that combines public transit with theatre, is right around the corner. Join the Watts Village Theater Company and six of Los Angeles' most fearless theatre companies for a hands-on expedition that will stop for short performances of music and dance at culturally significant sites around the Metro Gold Line.
The journey begins at Union Station and there will be eight shows over two weekends:
- Saturday, Aug. 25, 11 a.m. and 12 p.m.
- Sunday, Aug. 26, 11 a.m. and 12 p.m.
- Saturday, Sept.1, 11 a.m. and 12 p.m.
- Sunday, Sept. 2, 11 a.m. and 12 p.m.
Each show includes six performances along four Gold Line stops. Gather in the East Portal 30 minutes before shows start and make sure to wear comfortable clothing and bring water. Audience members are encouraged to participate in performances. Tickets are $20 and include the price of a Metro day pass needed to travel. Tickets are available for purchase online. For those on a tighter budget, there will be two pay-what-you-will performances: Sunday, Aug. 26 at 12 p.m. and Saturday, Sept. 1 at 12 p.m.
Each trip runs approximately 3 ½ hours. Children of all ages are welcome to attend. For more information, visit www.meetmeatmetro.com. Visit the Metro Trip Planner to plan the best route to get to Union Station.
