Questions for Aida School Edition

Could I cast a female-presenting actress as Zoser?
Could I cast a female-presenting actress as Zoser?

I just finished auditions for our school's production of Aida, and I am considering a female presenting actress for the role of Zoser. However, they are pangender and they use any pronouns. Would I be in trouble with MTI if I did cast them? They are really talented, and their rendition of "Another Pyramid" was just amazing. Would be a shame if I had to cast a male and not them. Just to make it clear, I AM NOT changing the gender of the character Zoser, just wanted to know if the actor had to be strictly a male. Thank you!

Hello, I had a general question about what materials are included in the school editions. Is doing a school edition title like doing a Jr./KIDS title, where you get a show kit that you get to keep (ie. the scripts) and do you get the accompaniment CD included with the show or do you need to get that separately?

Thanks!

Aida with a mostly white cast?
I am interested in doing Aida this year as I love the music and the story, however, our school and, even more, our theatre program is pretty much completely white.Has anyone done, or seen, Aida done with a primarily white cast? Does the story lose the impact?I am interested in hearing all of your thoughts.
