THE NEW STAGE PLAY FROM I'M READY PRODUCTIONS!

CHEAPER TO KEEP HER IS COMING TO HOUSTON!

Executive Producers Je'Caryous Johnson and Gary Guidry, founders of I'm Ready Productions, Inc., will debut Cheaper to Keep Her during a special limited engagement spring tour beginning in March 2010. The eleventh play in a series of box office breaking, critically acclaimed stage plays from NAACP Award-winning writer and director Je'Caryous Johnson, Cheaper to Keep Her will star R&B sensation Brian McKnight and multi-faceted actress Vivica A. Fox. Cheaper to Keep Her also stars actress Wendy Raquel Robinson ("When The Lights Go Out" and "The Game") and gospel comedian Jonathan Slocumb.

Known for his romantic comedies with a serious message, Johnson explores the all-too-often predicament couples face when the grass looks greener on the other side. In Cheaper to Keep Her, Raymond Mays (Brian McKnight) decides he's ready to call it quits when his wife Morgan Mays (Vivica A. Fox) no longer does it for him. When Raymond hires his best friend Joey to be his lawyer, and Morgan hires her catty cousin Koren (Wendy Raquel Robinson) as counsel, a legal boxing match explodes over their divorce. When the fed-up judge bangs her gavel, she decides Morgan doesn't deserve half; she deserves it all. Determined not to be defeated, Raymond and his best friend discover they have two options to prevent him from paying alimony: kill Morgan or get her married off to someone else. As ex-husband and ex-love face off with each other, broken hearts will get revenge, karma could kill, and infidelity can become infectious as hearts and marital matrimony collide only to discover whether it's cheaper to keep her.
