Liberty Lake Community Theatre recently announced new names to their 2015/2016 board of directors. Nick Kittilstved was named vice president, Jeanette Nall was named treasurer, and Rick Pentland is serving as facility coordinator.

Kuecken served as the first director for LLCT and had been an active part of the theater before the nonprofit group was formed. A press release said donations are being solicited to dedicate a piece of theater in his name.
The theater is also starting a teen board for ages 12 to 17. Those interested in being a part of this group can email info@libertylaketheatre.com or call 279-1911.
