  • Seth Rozin: Playing the Assassin

    InterAct Theatre Company premiered this play under its original title, Assassin, and I was very proud of it. The characters are juicy and crystal clear, and the writing is taut. As the long term effects of violent sports on athletes continues to be scrutinized, this play will remain extremely relevant and highly engaging. A relatively easy two-hander to produce, and it packs quite the punch.

  • Seth Rozin: Three in the Back, Two in the Head

    I found this play while browsing a theatre bookshop in Toronto and ended up sitting in the corner of the store reading the whole damn thing! And then I produced it at InterAct Theatre Company. At once a compelling family drama and a hard hitting and provocative political thriller, THREE IN THE BACK, TWO IN THE HEAD draws you into a web of geopolitical secrets that threaten to tear a family apart and possibly end the world as we know it.

  • Seth Rozin: It's All True

    I had the great pleasure of directing the US premier of this terrific play in 2001. after seeing the outstanding original production in Toronto. From the moment the play starts, mid-argument between the iconic Orson Welles, Marc Blitzstein and John Housemen, you're on an extraordinary, true-life ride that is as deeply human as it is incisively political. It's a play about labor unions, love, and the unbelievable things we go through for the labor of all loves: live theatre. It was a huge hit for InterAct Theatre Company and I imagine it would do gangbusters for virtually any American...

  • Seth Rozin: Draw the Circle

    One of my most rewarding decisions as an artistic director was supporting the final leg of development and production for DRAW THE CIRCLE, as part of InterAct Theatre Company's "Outside the Frame" festival in 2012. This is a beautifully conceived piece that is humorous, enlightening, poignant and deeply human. It shouId be presented (or produced) in every city in the country.

  • Seth Rozin: microcrisis

    I had the great pleasure of producing and directing MICROCRISIS at InterAct Theatre Company. Incredibly smart, funny, imaginative and informative. Tremendous fun to work on, and our audiences loved it!

  • Seth Rozin: The Rant

    The Rant is a terrific and incredibly timely play. As you hear from four well-drawn characters involved in the investigation around the tragic shooting death of an African American teenager, you think you're following a mystery that is slowly going to reveal "the truth" about what happened. But Case artfully guides you down a rabbit hole in which the more you learn, the less clear it is who and what to believe in.

  • Seth Rozin: TERMINUS

    This is a beautifully written, dramatically rich, moving and sometimes funny epic play that evokes many contemporary themes.
