Info
Tyler Perry Studios, sometimes referred to as TPS, is an American film production studio, founded by actor, filmmaker, and playwright Tyler Perry in 2006 in Atlanta, Georgia.

The studio occupies two former Delta Air Lines affiliated buildings in the Greenbriar area of southwest Atlanta, and includes 200,000 square feet (19,000 m2) of sets and office space. Its opening, in the fall of 2008, was attended by Sidney Poitier, Will Smith, Cicely Tyson, Oprah Winfrey, and Hank Aaron, among others. Through 34th Street Films, a production arm of Tyler Perry Studios, Perry guides the work of other filmmakers.

Since then Tyler Perry Studios have made 16 movies, 14 stage plays, 5 television series, and has published 2 books. Half of those movies and stage plays are centered around Mabel "Madea" Simmons, a 70 year-old sassy, pistol-packing woman, that gave popularity to many of Tyler Perry Studios' movies and plays.​

I just got back from the cinema after watching the latest film from Tyler Perry Single Moms Club. I had never even heard of the man or the Studio when i was in England but i have come to really like his films. Has anyone else seen his films or Series on OWN or his plays which are very popular as well.​
