Ruston Community Theater was formed December 19, 1977 by a group of local citizens who loved theater and wanted to create an opportunity for the people of Ruston to direct, act, and attend local community productions. When the Dixie Center for the Arts opened its doors in 2006, RCT moved in as a priority partner. Four productions are presented each season.

There is no chocolatier like the whimsical and enigmatic Willy Wonka! After years of secrecy, the doors of his wondrous chocolate factory will be opened to the finders of five golden tickets hidden in Wonka bars. Against all odds, impoverished Charlie Bucket is among the lucky children allowed entrance. During the tour, four of the children suffer unfortunate consequences due to their awful behavior and bad habits. Will Charlie persevere to the end, and what reward will await him if he does? This scrumdiddlyumptious musical features songs from the beloved 1971 movie based on the children’s novel by Roald Dahl with music and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newly, and adapted for stage by Leslie Bricusse and Timothy Allen McDonald. The show will be directed by Steele Moegle and sponsored by our corporate partner Jonesboro State Bank.
