Don't miss The Middlebury Actors Workshop production of the "wise and witty" play "Ada and The Engine" at the Town Hall Theater this weekend. There are performances Friday and Saturday evening at 7:30 PM and a Sunday matinee at 2 PM.
The play is set at the dawn of the British Industrial Revolution. Young Ada Byron Lovelace (daughter of the flamboyant and notorious Lord Byron) sees the boundless creative potential in the "analytic engines" of her friend and soul-mate, Charles Babbage, inventor of the first mechanical computer. 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. This poignant pre-tech romance heralding the computer age was enthusiastically enjoyed and applauded by last evening's opening performance audience.

As an added attraction, there is an exhibit of beautiful nature photos by Eric Nelson in the gallery to enjoy during intermission and after the show.
