Tyler Perry Taking a Break from Touring


Between shooting two or three films a year, Tyler Perry still tours the country performing in the Madea stage plays that launched his career.

In a message on his website Tyler Perry says it's time to take a break from touring so he can focus on other projects...

Tyler writes,
I don’t know if you remember this or not, but around 2005 I took off from touring my Madea plays for about 5 years. During that time, I was working mostly on movies and TV shows. Well, as much as I love to be out on stage and doing a live Madea show, the time has come again for me to take a long break from the stage. I have some major projects that I'm working on that will require a lot of my time and effort. Just know that I did not want to stop this tour until I had hit as many cities as possible. So I'm going to finish out this Fall leg of the tour and then take a long break.
