It’s Not About Talent: Conversation with Master Acting Coach Anthony Abeson Anthony Abeson brings the subject of his Washington Post op-ed piece, "Face It. It’s Not About Talent," to a live audience for an in-depth conversation about the negative impact that focusing on looks over talent has on our culture.

His work was documented in the Emmy award-winning episode of the Bill Moyers PBS series "Creativity," the Ace award-winning Manhattan Cable Television documentary "Chasing Dreams" and the BBC documentary "Bus and Truck." As an author, Anthony has had articles published in The Village Voice, The Washington Star, and The Theater Paper.
