CP2 Reader's Theatre Mini Festival 3: "Constellations" and "Ada and the Engine"

"Constellations" by Nick Payne; directed by Christine Crawfis

March 3 at 8 p.m. and March 4 at 4 p.m.

One relationship. Infinite possibilities. A story of love, honey and a quantum multiverse. Moment by moment, can everything you’ve ever and never done exist in the same vortex of reality? Elegant and playful yet profoundly moving, “Constellations” blends the everyday and the ethereal, the actual and the imaginable, revealing that every outcome may only be the first link in a chain of cosmic consequences.

"Ada and the Engine" by Lauren Gunderson; directed by Parker Reed

March 4 at 8 p.m. and March 5 at 2 p.m.

As the British Industrial Revolution dawns, young Ada Byron Lovelace 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. Jane Austen meets Steve Jobs in this poignant pre-tech romance heralding the computer age.

"Constellations" and "Ada and The Engine" are presented by arrangement by Dramatists Play Service, Inc.
