  • Straton Rushing: Light Switch by Dave Osmundsen
    “

    One of my favorite pieces I've read in a while. Osmundsen has a unique voice and manages to pack a hefty punch in this one. I think what stands out most is how I was able to feel so strongly for each character and how Henry's struggles, while never something I have experienced in my life, felt so real and somehow relatable.

    I hope to be there when this show finds it's way to the stage.

    Dave Osmundsen has done two great things with this play: he has given us a fully-developed story of Henry as he makes his way in the world, and given us insight into the challenges and victories that are a part of being both gay and with Asperger's Syndrome. More than anything, you find yourself relating to him on a level that so far has escaped many other writers. This is a story and a life that must be shared; the light it sheds is brilliant.

    My favorite full-length I’ve read thus far on NPX! It has so many elements of other great LGBT writers (I.e. Paul Rudnick, Jonathan Tolins, Bert V. Royal), and at the same time, it’s so fresh. I’ve never read anything like it before. You fall in love with Henry right away. You root for him, empathize with him. He’s one of the most beautifully written characters I’ve ever laid eyes on. Any actor who gets to portray him should be considered blessed. Thank you, Dave Osmundsen, for this gift of a play!

    Such crisp specific writing delved out in a rhythmic cadence. I was in Henry's corner from the first line and I wanted him to be okay. It's kinda like Rushmore meets Curious Incident. Really excited to see where this script goes.
