Ada and the Engine

Written by Lauren Gunderson
Directed by Rebekah Lane

Love letters in numbers

Set in the Victorian era among the houses of intellectual elites, we find Ada, a young female mathematician whose invention of binary code shapes our modern world today. Ada and the Engine, written by America's most produced living playwright, Lauren Gunderson, composes the story of Ada Byron Lovelace, poet Lord Byron's daughter. This lyrical play details the life of Ada as she struggles between the traditional demands of her mother and the pull of her mathematical ambition. Ada sees the creative potential in "The Engine" created by her mentor, the scholar Charles Babbage. As pressures mount and feelings grow, these two form a partnership that will change the course of the future. Jane Austen meets Steve Jobs in this poignant pre-tech romance heralding the computer age. In celebration of our 10th season, come along with us as we recalculate this music-laced story of love and friendship, the patrons' pick: Ada & The Engine.

Avenue Q

Music and Lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx
Book by Jeff Whitty

Directed by Joe Lehman

Recent college grad, Princeton, moves into a shabby New York apartment out on Avenue Q. Along with his new friends, Princeton struggles to find a job, date, and discover his ever-elusive purpose in life.

Filled with gut-busting adult humor and a delightfully catchy score…not to mention puppets, this unique show addresses adult issues while spoofing the memory of educational television shows like “Sesame Street” and “The Electric Company.” With hysterical songs such as “Everyone’s a Little Bit Racist,” “The Internet Is for Porn, “ and “It Sucks to Be Me,” has quickly become a favorite for audiences everywhere. WARNING: FULL PUPPET NUDITY!
