Tyler Perry Studios

This guide to Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta opens on the night of October 5th, 2019, when Tyler Perry stood on his own backlot to reveal something no other studio owner in America had done. It traces the twelve names attached to his soundstages that night, from Oprah Winfrey to Spike Lee to Sidney Poitier, and the three hundred thirty acre former army post Perry bought four years earlier for thirty million dollars. Spike Lee, watching from the crowd, called it history. Walk between the stage doors and see how many names you recognize before you reach the end.
