Mrs. Beauregarde (Caasi Brand)
Caasi is an old soul with a heart of gold ,she is a very grounded person even after all the things she's been through .People do find her mean looking but that's her outside protection and when you get to know her she’s the kindest weirdo in the world. All the people that met her say she is the most motherly aunt .She puts in effort no matter how hard the challenge is. Fighting for her rights or the right thing is her motto .Over all her life is an unfinished house and is always being worked on .Finally she is the moment and a material girl.

She has done a really good job at coming to practice even with her still having to do wrestling and all that. But she is having a great time with this cast and wouldn’t trade it for the world. She also thinks we have a wonderful Willy Wonka!
