Show Runs Three Nights at Temple Theater
Angelina College Theater, under the direction of instructor Daniel Anderson and featuring AC students and alumni, will present the Lauren Gunderson classic “Ada and the Engine” in a three-night performance scheduled to open on Thursday, Nov. 6 at the Temple Theater on the AC campus.
The story follows real-life mathematician and writer Ada Lovelace (daughter of poet Lord Byron), whose collaboration with fellow mathematician Charles Babbage in the 1830s on the “Analytical Engine” often is considered the foundation for future computers in a creative approach.
Gunderson’s play focuses on the “romantic and poetic” look at the relationship between Lovelace and Babbage, along with Lovelace’s “visionary ideas” about the future of never-before-considered technology.
All Angelina College presentations are free and open to the public.
Following are the cast and crew members for the production:
Cast: Eryn Forrest (Ada Lovelace); Diana Saenz (Lady Anabella Byron); Daniel Anderson (Charles Babbage); Julian Chavez (Lord Lovelace); and Rachael Couch (Mary Sommerville).
