Shattered
In the 1970s and 80s, John C. Donahue was hailed as a brilliant, difficult theater visionary, and his Children’s Theatre Company and School (CTC) reached national acclaim. Behind the curtain, however, the institution harbored more than two dozen sexual perpetrators. Donahue’s 1984 arrest for abusing students nearly ended CTC—yet the culture of complicity endured and the full truth was buried. In this memoir, Laura Stearns confronts her own childhood abuse at CTC, unpacks decades of institutional harm, and charts a trauma-informed path toward strength—calling for safer spaces for young artists.
