Charles Babbage invented his Difference Engine in 1821: an automatic calculating machine, complete with a printing apparatus. Though it wasn’t fully realized for 200 years, it is recognized as one of the great intellectual achievements of the 19th century – along with Babbage’s Analytical Engine, which has many essential features found in the modern computer. And the Difference Engine is the inciting event for the play, Ada and the Engine. How did it work?

Join us on Saturday, Oct. 8 at 7:00pm for a pre-show conversation with David Kaiser, Katrina LaCurts, and Kelcey Gibbons.

In 1843, Ada Lovelace completed her notes on Charles Babbage’s design for the Analytical Engine, articulating its capacity to weave algebraic patterns, and envisioning how it might one day be used to create music and images. In 2022, we live enmeshed in a culture of computing and digital technology, with compounding possibilities and confounding questions. 

Can we take an historical view that empowers us to shape the evolution of a computer culture infused with our humanity?
