Amazingly, Tyler Perry has built a solid portfolio of stage productions over the past 12 years. Tyler Perry’s “Laugh to Keep from Crying” will surely bring much needed laughter with all the challenges we face today. This 11th production touches the depths of our souls and has a lot of great poignant moments. It explores confusion versus an illustration of courage. A cast of veterans from former Tyler Perry productions will provide you with aclear perception to manage your own situations but on a lighter scale.
The story line is based on life’s struggles in the heart of the neighborhood. With his multi-diversed cast, the production focuses on how to raise and understand teenagers in a society that is out of control; how does one understand and protect young people; how do you manage to keep a roof over your head when you lose your job and your retirement; where do you find a bed of roses when there is so much pain? A family that receives redemption and a neighborhood that comes together with hope, love and respect isrecognized. As all of Mr. Perry’s stage productions have been in the past, this entertaining experience is full of great laughter, high quality singing and encouragement. As they say during difficult times, you have to "Laugh To Keep From Crying"!
