MINNIE WAYS TO LOVE - A one-man show about redemption, epiphany, and wisdom learned from the matriarch of the family, Minnie Taylor. This sometimes all-too-real comedic rollercoaster of life, love, and all things in between invites the audience into a world that should become a movie, play, or book. But for now, national artist Z. F. Taylor is sharing the journey in his own words with a few surprise guest appearances.
