This isn’t your grandmother’s Austen! Bold, surprising, boisterous, and timely, this P&P for a new era explores the absurdities and thrills of finding your perfect (or imperfect) match in life. The outspoken Lizzy Bennet is determined to never marry, despite mounting pressure from society. But can she resist love, especially when that vaguely handsome, mildly amusing, and impossibly aggravating Mr. Darcy keeps popping up at every turn?! Literature’s greatest tale of latent love has never felt so theatrical, or so full of life than it does in this effervescent adaptation. Because what turns us into greater fools…than the high-stakes game of love?

Event: Ryan James: Florilegium Art Installation
Presented By: ryan james fine arts
Date: January 17, 2026
Time: 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM
Location: ryan james fine arts | 425 Urban Plaza Suite #165, Kirkland, WA 98033
Florilegium is a multi-media installation by James Gill and David Traylor. It is an abstract
portrayal and interpretation of gardens and nature. Unlike many traditional florilegia, the
installation is neither a published collection of works nor a physical collection of illustrations.
It is a weaving together of paintings, large scale photographs and garden “folly” sculptures.
Since the late 16 th century, the term “florilegium” has been used to broadly describe
anthologies or collections of chosen pieces. Over time it has come to literally mean “flower
book” that focused on the beauty, depiction and status of plants. These works often were
used to showcase private gardens allowing owners to display both their collections and their “refined” taste.
