When Fall approaches so does the invitation to experience another Tyler Perry Stage Play.Launched this month is TP's new play "Laugh to Keep From Crying."
Synopsis: The story line is based on life's struggles in the inner city. How does one understand and protect young people; how do you manage to keep a roof over your head when you lose your job; how do you separate true love from a deceiver? A family that receives redemption and a neighborhood that comes together with hope, love and respect are demonstrated.
