Ada envisions a whole new world where art and information converge- a world she might not live to see. A music-laced story of love\, friendship\, and the edgiest dreams of the future. Jane Austen meets Steve Jobs in this poignant pre-tech romance heralding the computer age.  \nCASTING THE FOLLOWING ROLES:\nNOTE: All Ethnicities are encouraged to audition for any role.  \nADA BYRON LOVELACE (Female-Identifying\, 18-35) Curious\, funny\, brilliant\, aware of her brilliance\, storied\, aware of her story. Never met her famous father. Tries to be a “good girl” but just cannot help her curiosity and love of all things impossible. A woman of our time stuck in hers . (English accent required\, ability to sing comfortably preferred.) \nLADY ANABELLA BYRON (Female-Identifying\, 35-55): Ada’s mother\, harsh\, strict\, jealous? Yes. But\, realistic.

Almost perfect for Ada. Almost. (English accent required) \nLORD LOVELACE (Male-Identifying\, 25-45): A gentleman who becomes Ada’s husband. He’d rather that he was more rich and more lordly\, but he’ll manage with his lot. A proud man. A wanting man. A serious man.
