Harriet Powers, director of many plays at the Villanova University Theatre, says about Seth Rozin’s play and the company which produces it:

The play is called REINVENTING EDEN. It was written by Seth Rozin and produced at InterAct Theatre Company, a professional company in Philadelphia committed to investigating political, ethical, and social issues in depth, non-polemically.

In exploring the moral, ethical, and legal implications of genetic manipulation, this play does not prescribe “answers” but invites viewers to wrestle with values and relative scientific benefits and dangers. During its world premiere production (April/May 2006), its central ideas were also the subject of 2 University of Pennsylvania scientific symposia, "Where Are We?" and "Where Are We Going?" April 29, 2006, chaired by Dr. Art Caplan, Director of the Center for Bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania. Many geneticists attended the production during its month-long run and were extraordinarily excited and moved.

InterAct is one of only half a dozen theatre nationwide with a politically-based mission, and is among the original 15 member theatres of The National New Play Network, an alliance of not-for-profit professional theatres that champions the development, production and continued life of new plays for the American stage.
