Gans and her husband, Alex Horn, ran the Theatre of All Possibilities in San Francisco until 1978, when its doors were closed due to allegations of abuse. While the theatre did produce stage shows, its work was done by students of a group led by Gans and Horn, ostensibly based on the work of PD Ouspensky and GI Gurdjieff.
