“Ada’s ‘effervescence’ is contagious. I can’t imagine the casting being better – it is perfect…The script was delightful, poignant and often hilarious! I love celebrating genius women of the 1800’s! This play needs to go BIG; don’t let it just stay here in Atlanta – share it with the world!”
“This is a beautiful production of one of my favorite Lauren Gunderson plays and the actors are great!”
“As [a techie], it was right up my alley. I love hearing the word ‘polynomials’ in a British accent.”
“Okay, ‘Ada and the Memory Engine’ has to be one of the best productions in Essential Festival’s distinguished history.
