Madera Furniture Company is pleased to host *The Brick and the Rose,* a play by the Seattle Theatre Group, Arouet. Written as a collage for voices, 10 actors will portray 47 characters in Tommy’s life journey from his birth to his death. Tommy grows up in the slums and thinks differently from his peers. He is constantly searching for something in contrast to the cold rough city. In his search he witnesses street violence, drug use, and touches of beauty. *The Brick and the Rose* is being presented by Arouet and Madera Furniture Company as part of *Arts Crush *- a collaborative, month-long arts and cultural festival aimed at engaging community, creating access, inspiring creativity and building arts participation all around the Puget Sound. The free performance will be held on Thursday October 10th, 2013 at 8:00. Doors will open at 7:15.
