Dozens of people say they were sexually abused at Minneapolis' Children's Theatre in the '60s, '70s and '80s. Administrators say they had no idea, but former students, parents and investigators say that's impossible. MPRnews
Children's Theatre Company lawyer Theresa Bevilacqua's opening statement acknowledged the actions of Jason McLean, but claimed that the theater wasn't responsible.“Just before school started, I had heard about the rumors,” said Mary Hallman, who enrolled her daughter Molly in the Children’s Theatre Company’s conservatory school to study dance in 1981.Within just a couple of weeks of starting classes, Molly came home upset.
A second meeting with Jennings got nowhere. Hallman twice tried waiting outside CTC board meetings to tell people what she’d learned, but no one was interested. "I just didn't get anywhere,” she said.“They just told me that they'd done their investigation, there was no truth to the rumor, and that was that." She felt she had run into a stone wall.
When the BCA began investigating John Clark Donahue in 1982, two agents met with CTC’s executive director, Sarah Lawless. They reported that Lawless had admitted to being aware of rumors surrounding Donahue’s behavior with boys, but didn’t think there was any truth to them.
