Why do we pick people that are whacked out? Especially when it causes so many problems? Most therapists would say, not clinically speaking, that our ‘pickers’ are bad. We lack the skills that are necessary to recognize the stable from the unstable.

About The Composers

Gene Bua & Toni Bull Bua

Trained at New York's prestigious "Neighborhood Playhouse," Gene Bua was discovered by famed composer Richard Rodgers who asked him to play the lead in the Broadway revival of "The Boys from Syracuse." After starring in a string of hit shows, Gene became a soap opera idol as Bill Prentiss on CBS Television's long-running daytime drama "Love of Life."

There he met his co-star, Toni Bull, trained from age 14 by Uta Hagen, as well as by Wynn Handman of the renowned "American Place Theatre." As America watched them fall in love on TV, life was imitating art. When their characters married on the show, they married in real life.

They continued to be two of the most popular and respected actors on daytime television. While both on the set of NBC Television's "Another World, Somerset," other actors would approach Gene seeking to discover what technique he used to be so spontaneous and so powerfully in the moment, take after take. He invited his cast members to his New York City apartment and began an experiment-a merging of Gene's Sanford Meisner technique and Toni's intensive Uta Hagen training, that eventually grew, transformed, and exploded into "Acting For Life."

The Theatre has since become a nexus for actors, writers, directors, producers, therapists, lawyers, and others who want to push their boundaries and tap into the richest source of their being. Gene, Toni, and the Acting For Life organization have received honors from the White House, five different California Mayors, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, The Board of Education, Youth Suicide Prevention of Los Angeles, The Los Angeles Unified School District, the University of Judaism, Science of Mind, Hope House, Penny Lane, Cry Help, Tonya's Children, and many other civic, charitable, and religious organizations.

In addition to their many stage and television credits, numerous charitable involvements, and "Acting For Life Theatre," the Buas have created and produced a string of award-winning productions, including the legendary "Pepper Street," which was written by Toni and composed and directed by Gene. At the time, it was L.A.'s longest running musical, and before being optioned for Broadway, sponsored over 3000 at-risk kids during its five year run.

"Across from Cindy's Corner," a journey through Gene's life and teachings, earned him the Artistic Directors' Award for Best Actor in a Musical. In June of 2001, the Buas opened the World Premiere of their new Supermusical, "2nd Wind." They have been chosen to be included in the 2005 "Who's Who? Famous People in America." All productions, both on stage and screen, are cast directly from the student body of the "Acting For Life Theatre."
