The following is information about the cunningly clever, delightfully darling, multi-talented, comically inclined, award winning actress/writer/producer, T'Keyah Crystal Keymáh and her multi-media stage show, T'Keyah Live! …Mostly: A True Variety Show. Best known for her work on In Living Color and Cosby (both airing nightly in syndication), the actress whose first love is the stage now stars in the ABC Family Channel's That's So Raven. David Mills, while a staff writer for the Washington Post, called T'Keyah Crystal Keymáh's work "Comedy with a Conscience". It is not surprising then, that Some of My Best Friends, her first critically acclaimed one-woman show, enjoyed successful performances for diverse audiences across the country and won NAACP Theatre Awards for Best Actress and Best Play!

After a workshop preview at Florida A & M University, T'Keyah Live! …Mostly: A True Variety Show debuted at the 1999 National Black Theatre Festival. The hugely popular show got rave reviews from festival participants like Robert Hooks, Dick Anthony Williams, Andre de Sheilds and more. The 2001-2002 T'Keyah Live! Tour brought more outstanding notices in Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta and Memphis. T'Keyah Live! …Mostly: A True Variety Show, includes a variety of sketches, scenes, acts and audience participation that are presented live (mostly) and on tape (several) with impressions, tributes and eclectic, colorful characters old and new. The show opens with a song and closes with a bang. In between, along with a bouquet of surprises, the audience meets: Bertha, a sassy cleaning woman who talks more than she cleans, educating the audience on her real calling as an would be entertainer; Camillia, a lucky audience member's "Blind Date" who spouts hysterical impressions whenever she get nervous, Cryssy, a little girl whose circumstances demand that she create a more nurturing, culturally corrected world for herself (Black World) and a group of struggling high school students - Carmen, a rock groupie who defies labels; Danita, a closet Latina searching for her place in the world; Greg, a young man with heart who doesn't take anything too seriously, Marsha, a pampered princess who deals with her bigoted tendencies and Evelyn, a special needs sweetheart who seems oblivious to her challenges as she dances (in her mind). Along with a pantomime tribute to Bert Williams, the video portions of the show introduce Madame Cashmere, the self-indulgent owner of an advice hotline and Uncle Bubba, the scheming owner of a disreputable fix-it shop. In a hilarious and sometimes musical manner Ms. Keymáh provides non-stop, thought provoking, family entertainment and still manages to champion topics such as acceptance and faith. T'Keyah brings different guests on with each show. T'Keyah Live! debuted with speacial guest Margaret Kemp. During the 2002-2003 T'Keyah Live! Tour, T'Keyah's guests were T.C. Carson, Ralph Harris, Dawnn Lewis, Bobby Mardis and Karen Malina White. T'Keyah Live! returned to the 2005 National Black Theatre Festival with Todd Bridges as T'Keyah's co-star.
