World's Stage Auditions for a Milwaukee/New York musical project

The World's Stage Theatre is looking to cast for a musical that will be staged at In Tandem's Tenth Street Theatre May 22nd - 26th. The musical will then be staged the following month at The Cherry Lane Theatre in New York. It sounds like a very interesting opportunity . . . the cast will be provided housing in New York by the World's Stage Theatre Company, but transportation there is up to the actors themselves.
