A precocious intellect herself\, Ada and Charles form a romance of the mind as she envisions a whole new world where art and information converge. Their ideas lead to the first mechanical computer in Lauren Gunderson’s music-laced story of love\, friendship\, and the edgiest dreams of the future as Jane Austen meets Steve Jobs in this poignant pre-tech romance heralding the computer age. \nPURCHASE YOUR TICKETS HERE:\nCHOOSE YOUR DATE:\n\nThursday\, July 3\, 8pm – Special Thursday Night Show\nFriday\, July 4th\, 8pm – NO SHOW DUE TO THE HOLIDAY\nSaturday\, July 5\, 8pm – Closing Night\n\nPLEASE NOTE: The Studio Theater is on the 2nd Floor.
