Plan Now to attend SIGAda's 
 
 

Opening Night 

By popular acclaim, the further theatrical adventures of Lady Ada will be presented live, on-stage, with soloists, chorus, and full orchestra. These Gilbert & Sullivan parodies have enjoyed a memorable spot at the preceding two Ada Conferences, so be sure to clear your calendar for Tuesday evening. 

AdaGore Inc., or The Microjunk Curse AdaGore is a struggling consulting company of Ada programmers, eager to work, but having difficulty landing contracts because of the overwhelming market dominance of Microjunk Inc. We discover in Act I that the CEOs of Microjunk are under a curse which requires them to ensure that one serious bug is placed in the code every day, making the use of Ada out of the question. Robin is considering adopting Ada for his new real-time project, and the programmers of AdaGore are hopeful, urged on by their leader Lady Ada.  But all is not as it seems. Is Despard really the CEO of Microjunk? What dark secret lies in Robin's background? And what of Mary, driven mad by being forced to program in C++? Perhaps the ghost of the first CEO of Microjunk, William, will provide some answers. Will all be resolved happily, will the CEO of Microjunk see the light, and will AdaGore get the new real-time contract that it deserves? You will have to tune in on Tuesday evening, for our fully staged production with a full orchestra and an all-star cast to find out the answers! Sponsored once again by Ada Core Technologies, and produced by Maestro Robert Dewar and fellow teacher, compiler writer, lyricist, and accompanist Ed Schonberg. This innocent plot is blatantly lifted from "Ruddigore" by Gilbert and Sullivan, to whom we are also indebted for the magnificent music.
