Je'Caryous Johnson's "Cheaper to Keep Her"
October 20, 8 p.m.
Century II Concert Hall
"He had it all...Until she took everything!"
When a married couple is ready to call it quits, they always want different things. Raymond Mays (Brian McKnight) wants a divorce and Morgan Mays (Vivica A. Fox) wants alimony. When the fed-up judge bangs her gavel, she decides Morgan doesn't deserve half... she deserves it all. Morgan gets everything-the house, Raymond's retirement, and some would say even his self-esteem, leaving him with nothing but the thought; it would have been cheaper to keep her. Raymond has 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 and hearts and marital matrimony will collide only to discover if it's easier to love her as his wife.
WichitaTIX and Century II are pleased to include you in their pre-sale event beginning at 10 a.m. on Friday, June 4 before tickets go on sale to the general public on Monday, June 7.
