  • Adam Seidel: The Gift of BS by Dave Osmundsen
    “

    I appreciate the way Dave crafts his characters in the sense that they challenge me while also causing me to feel empathy for them. I often find myself directing Dave's plays in my head as I read them, and The Gift of BS is no exception. A really strong play that can reach both young, old, those on the spectrum, and those not. Really looking forward to the day this piece gets produced.

    A great play that really dives into the conflict and tension that arises when a chosen leader doesn’t fit into the box that an organization or religion demands. Well done!

    Saw this play at corkscrew fest and I loved the witty dialogue, the diversity of characters and the overall tone of storytelling. Big fan of nora’s work.

    In all the best ways, Thalia reminds me of the female character in Dael Orlandersmith's YELLOWMAN. Love this little introspective glimpse into the life of a woman living between two borders

    A lovely, vivid and highly theatrical adaptation. Really strong, impassioned writing. Bravo Dave!

    I love the perspective this play offers and how it raises up young characters who are on the spectrum. I think this play is important and I hope it gets traction. Especially love Ted and Mr. Bright!

    Been meaning to read this for ages. The aspect I enjoy most about Philip's work is that it feels so absolutely personal. And the beauty of that is upon entering the world, the audience instantly becomes part of the family. Really really enjoyed this one.

    This is such a fun script and contains elements you rarely ever see in plays. Imaginative, relatable and just a little weird in a very good way. Highly recommend.

    This play is so well crafted and thought out and well researched and just absolutely fascinating. It's akin to getting a theatrical mystery box off of the dark web.

    Um, some of the funniest frickin' lines I've ever read. This piece is so dope because it captures the enthusiasm and joy that every writer has when they think they've just thought up the next stellar play of the century. I'm not ashamed to admit I've been the playwright in this play only a few hundred thousand times every waking moment.. I think the moral of the play (both in writing and in life) is we all need Audience member 3 and their final line. :)
