Join the RLOP for our Spring production of Disney’s The Little Mermaid!
We are so excited to be bringing Disney back to the Bailey stage April 29th - May 2nd 2027!
Auditions will take place at The Bodega on December 2nd, 3rd, and 8th 2026. Please complete the form below to sign up for an audition. All auditions will include a reading given at the audition and a requested song prepared by you. Please keep in mind that these are the MTI [theatre] versions of the songs and not the film when looking for the correct key. Music will be provided during auditions. See specific character info for the requested song and if you are interested in more than one role, please choose just one song to prepare.
We are happy to have performers of all age on stage! Any interested performers 15 and under will be welcomed into our ensemble and dance numbers and do not need to attend auditions. Instead, please select Youth/Kids on the form under audition days and we will be in touch after auditions have taken place.

We hope to see you there!
