You should go audition. The worst that could happen is that you don't get the role and you end up working on the show anyway. And if you're the perfect fit for the role, the company will figure out some way, in the city that you live in, to find another person to act as the rehearsal SM/backstage ASM. There's always someone out there to do the job.
I auditioned for a show many years ago along with a carpenter. I heard the director say to the carpenter, "What are YOU doing here?" His passion was acting, and he ending up getting a role in the show while I ended up on the deck crew. Anything is possible. And it's not going to hurt you to audition. Go do it!
