[1] According to Rick Alan Ross, the group run by Alex Horn and his wife Sharon Gans, was "one of the most secretive groups [he] encountered.”[2] Horn and Gans ran the Theatre of All Possibilities until 1978 when the San Francisco Chronicle[3] and San Francisco Progress[4][5][6][7][8] ran a series of articles accusing the couple of running a cult which abused children, bilked members, and physically abused and verbally abused members.

Thereafter, Horn and Gans both left San Francisco and continued to run their groups in New York and Boston, the latter until his death in 2007.

[9] Alex Horn had five children with Anne Burrage, Maurice, Elaine, Matthew, Mary Ellen and Benjamin.

[10] An article about Alexander Francis Horn, then five years old, appeared in the Chicago Tribune on February 9, 1935.

1940 census records show Alexander Horn, aged 10, as an inmate of the Marks Nathan Jewish Orphan Home in Chicago, where he is reported as having lived for the previous five years.
