***** SENIOR SPOTLIGHT *****

Teagan Leblanc

Teagan started acting in RCT shows in 2016 when she was 8 years old (around 2016). She had shown an interest in acting so her mom and dad helped her prepare an audition for Beauty and the Beast.

Her favorite role was Broadway Melody Host from “Singing in the Rain Jr” because she loved singing “Broadway Melody” and wearing that fabulous costume!

Teagan has graduated from Ruston High and plans to attend Louisiana Tech to major in biology.

During the month of May, we will highlight seniors who have been involved with RCT. If you are a graduating senior (or know one) who would like to be acknowledged, please fill out the form to submit the needed information: https://forms.gle/QmyLdzGrECqubzFr7

***** MEET THE AUTHOR *****

Roald Dahl (1916–1990) was a British author known for his imaginative, slightly mischievous children’s stories. Before becoming a writer, he served as a fighter pilot in World War II and later worked as a screenwriter. He went on to create beloved classics like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, and The BFG, captivating generations with his signature mix of humor, heart, and dark whimsy. His stories continue to inspire films, plays, and musicals—including W***y Wonka Jr.
