You're invited to join us for a special evening where storytelling meets architecture.

Edmonton writer, theatre artist, researcher, and educator Liam Monaghan presents a theatrical reading exploring the lives of prominent Canadian architect Arthur Erickson and his lesser-known partner in work and love, interior designer Francisco Kripacz. This outdoor reading offers a unique opportunity for theatre lovers, architecture aficionados, and garden-goers to engage with a jewel of Canadian architectural history while raising awareness of Dyde House, one of Erickson’s earliest known residential buildings, nestled on the grounds of the Garden.
