She's spot on: "In high school theater there's sometimes a lack of males" so casting is genderblind (she played Jack in "Into the Woods" last year).
Also: "In Shakespearean theater, there was so much cross-gender casting, you know, males playing females." Good for her!
->P.S. Everyone writing about this: Little Shop (& Into the Woods) are not plays(!) The term is "musical".
