Lake Country Children's Theater (LCCT) grew out of the 1983 discussions of an enthusiastic and energetic group of Hartland area citizens, led by Catherine A. Coles. This group wanted to offer quality, live theater experiences to area children in order to foster appreciation of theater and related arts. They chose a life-size mascot, Dugan the Storytale Dragon, to appeal to children and promote the fledgling theater group. Connie Casper, Jim Pierce, Diane & Steve Preisler, Joicelyn Schwager, and Katie Weber were some of the founding LCCT members.
