Meet Henry Sullivan – 27, gay, Autistic, and completely enchanted by the sweeping romance of 19th-century British novels. He’s read Wuthering Heights 67 times; dreamed every scene… but nothing in those pages prepared him for the complexities of modern dating. Join Henry on his journey through love, heartbreak, identity, and acceptance – navigating a world that doesn’t always understand him and learning to write his own kind of love story – in Island City Stage’s Florida premiere of Light Switch by Dave Osmundsen. Tickets are on sale now for the play running May 21 – June 14.

This poignant coming-of-age story thoughtfully portrays one remarkable young man’s journey to find anything — or anyone — that lights up his heart the way 19th century romantic literature does. When Henry ultimately meets a potential match in Joseph, he wonders if Joseph will be the one to “flip the switch.” Funny, moving, and profoundly relatable, Light Switch captures the power of imagination, the longing for connection, and the courage it takes to be truly seen.

Autistic playwright Dave Osmundsen’s work explores the intersections of queerness and neurodiversity. Light Switch received its world premiere with Spectrum Theatre Ensemble in April 2022. Light Switch was also the 2021 Distinguished Achievement recipient of the Jean Kennedy Smith Playwriting Award, an Honorable Mention finalist for BAPF 2021, longlisted for the Theatre503 International Playwriting Award, a finalist for the 2020 Carlo Annoni Playwriting Prize, and a semi-finalist for the 2020 National Playwrights Conference. Osmundsen’s work has been seen and developed at KCACTF Region 8, the Kennedy Center/NNPN MFA Playwrights Workshop, B Street Theatre, the William Inge Theatre Festival, the Midwest Dramatists Conference, Phoenix Theatre Company, Clamour Theatre Company, Premiere Stages, and more. He was one of two recipients of the Blank Theatre and Ucross Foundation’s inaugural Future of Playwriting Prize. His one-act, A Firework Unexploded, was a semi-finalist for the NYC Audio Theatre Writing Contest and was produced by Pint-Sized in London. His plays have been published by or are forthcoming in The Dionysian, Canyon Voices, Exposition Review and Broadway Play Publishing. MFA: Arizona State University.

Island City Stage’s production of Light Switch is directed by theater veteran Michael Leeds and stars Gage Callenius as Ezra, Eric Gospodinoff as Joseph, Larry Toyter as Roggie, Irene Adjan as Marian, and Luis Roberto Herrera as Aaron/Ken/Another Guy.

Light Switch co-producers are Funding Arts Broward & Mark Loeser and the Opening Doors Charitable Trust; Lights and Sound Sponsor is Scott Bennett; Talent Sponsors are Jim Morgan & Joe Rodonis; Costume Sponsors is Richard Meyerson; and Set Sponsor is Glenn Goldberg. Additional funding is provided by the following: The Our Fund Foundation, The Schubert Foundation Inc., the SHS Foundation, the Warten Foundation, and OutClique.

Individual show tickets start at $50. A Mimosa Sunday performance sponsored by Misty Daniels will take place on May 31. The show runs for one hour and 50 minutes with an intermission.

Through archival photographs, artifacts and legal documents, visitors will view the original buildings housing the county’s judicial system, learn about Broward’s first judge, Jacob F. Bunn (1915-1920), its first female judicial officer, Eunice C. Rencher, the first female judge to be elected to a state bench, Mildred Akerman, and first two African American judges, Thomas J. Reddick, Jr., and Alcee Hastings. Also on display are several legal documents, articles and photos documenting the highly publicized national investigation of the death of celebrity Anna Nicole Smith and the infamous 2000 Florida Election Recount. Judicial robes and other personal effects from several previous judges and legal representatives add to the exhibit’s significance.

This exhibit has been created with the generous support of Broward County Hispanic Bar Association, Honorable Florence Taylor Barner, Honorable Hope Bristol, Honorable Robert F. Diaz, Honorable Jane Fishman, Honorable Lisa Flanigan, Honorable Marina Garcia-Wood, Honorable Peggy Gehl, Honorable Kenneth Gottlieb, Honorable Daniel Kanner, Honorable Kristin Kanner, Honorable Robert W.

A puerta cerrada es una obra de teatro existencialista emblemática, estrenada por primera vez en 1944. Es célebre por explorar la idea de que las relaciones humanas y la mirada de los demás definen nuestra propia existencia. La obra transcurre en una única habitación del Infierno. No hay espejos, ni ventanas, y las luces nunca se apagan. El escenario y los personajes.
La obra se desarrolla en una sola habitación del Infierno, el cual no se representa como un lugar de fuego y azufre, sino como un sobrio salón de estilo Segundo Imperio. No hay espejos, ni ventanas, y las luces nunca se apagan. Al principio, los personajes esperan que aparezca un torturador físico. Sin embargo, pronto se dan cuenta de que han sido reunidos allí precisamente porque sus personalidades y sus pecados chocan entre sí. Se ven obligados a convertirse en los «torturadores» de los demás, juzgando mutuamente y negándose a brindar la validación que cada uno busca. La obra alcanza su clímax cuando los personajes comprenden que no pueden escapar de la mirada de los otros. Dado que no hay espejos, solo pueden verse a sí mismos a través de los ojos sesgados y críticos de sus compañeros. Tres desconocidos se encuentran encerrados juntos en esta habitación.
