After producing and starring in several film versions of his plays featuring Madea, Tyler Perry is bringing his signature character back to the stage in a new production set to tour in 2010.
The entertainment mogul posted a message on his Web site Saturday that said he had taken some time off in the past few months “so I could spend my mother’s final days at her side.” His mother, Willie Maxine Perry, died December 8 at age 64.
Perry says he will begin touring with his new play, “Madea’s Big Happy Family,” on Jan. 4 in El Paso, Texas. The first leg then goes on to Phoenix, San Diego, Seattle, Portland, and ending in Detroit, MI reports www.tylerperry.com. Log on for more information and upcoming dates.
The actor says he is eager to have the gun-toting, curse-you-out-in-a-minute character on stage for the first time in five years.
