Need AppleScript to format a lot of Keynote Slides

Would someone be willing to write an AppleScript (or point me where/how to find an AppleScript) that will format a lot of Keynote files/slides? I have 25+ Keynote files with about 30 slides each that I have to make the following changes below (to the existing text in the slides) - and I'm looking for a way to automate this process. I don't know AppleScript, and I assume Automator can't do this.

All slides are set to Widescreen 16:9 layout.

The slide layout is solid black fill

All text color is white.

Specifically, I need the following (4) format changes to all slides:

Change font to Helvetica Neue Bold

Change font size to 80 pt

Align text to the top of the text box

Arrange the text box to Position 183 on Y axis

Thank you in advance!

Can you create (most of) what you want as a new theme, and apply it to the existing presentation?

For smaller changes, I've sometimes copied existing Apple themes, and modified those.

I don't know how to do that. I made a new theme, but when I apply my new theme to an existing file, all of the text in the original Keynote file disappears - whether I have "Keep Your Style Changes" checked or unchecked. Perhaps I'm setting up the theme incorrectly? Any suggestions?
