Ada and the Memory Engine

Oct 17-Nov 22

Ada Lovelace (1815-1852):
countess, metaphysician…
computer programmer!

Estranged daughter of the flamboyant and notorious leader of the Romantic Movement, Lord Byron, young Ada only knows her father through his poetry—nothing more than a haunting memory from the past.  But Ada sees the future in the “analytic engines” of her friend and soul-mate, Charles Babbage, inventor of the first mechanical computer.  A gifted mathematician in her own right, Ada alone foresees the boundless creative potential of Babbage’s engine.  As she writes the first computer program, Ada envisions a whole new world where art and information converge—a world she will not live to see.  Written by award-winning playwright, Lauren Gunderson and directed by Gary Graves.
