Meet The Browns is a play produced by Tyler Perry in 2004. In it, Cora (Madea's daughter) and Mr. Brown (Madea's neighbor) are headed to Brown's side of the family. In Madea's Class Reunion, it is revealed that Brown is actually Cora's father, so he is taking his new daughter to his family.
The play begins with Brown's (David Mann) brother, L.B., and his wife, Sarah, in their house very early in the morning. Their daughter, Milay, soon comes in after being awakened at her own house by her parents. She soon learns that her grandfather (Brown's and L.B.'s father) has died, and they need help preparing for the funeral. After a little convincing, Milay decides to help with funeral arrangements.
The next morning, Sarah and Milay are talking together while L.B. is upstairs crying. We soon learn that Milay was divorced and had a son who died. But before more can be learned, Mr. Brown and Cora (Tamela Mann) come in and get acquainted with everyone. Everyone is surprised to learn that Madea is Cora's mother. Soon after, Will (Brown's nephew) and his wife, Kim, come in. Will's overly drunk mother, Vera (Brown's and L.B.'s sister), comes in after them crying hysterically. She jumps upon seeing Brown, believing it was he that had died. When she is told it is her father that has died, she nearly collapses, and begins to cry again.
As the family begins talking, we learn that Will is a gynecologist and Kim (who isn't the best cook) is studying to be a surgeon. After discussing the funeral for a while, the girls leave for the church to decorate, leaving L.B., Brown, and Will. The three soon get into a discussion about everything from drinking to sex.
Meanwhile, the ladies are at the church when Tracey Stevens walks in. She tells them about how she is prengant and the father is a married man. Sarah gives Tracey her number and address and tells her to stop by any time. Soon only Cora is left in the church when Rev. Henry Oliver walks in. Cora soon takes a liking to the reverend as the two develop a romance.
Later, Tracey comes to the house and goes off with Sarah. Milay's ex-husband, Gerald shows up, giving his sympathy and planning to come to the funeral. Milay is outraged, mainly because Gerald didn't have the decency to come to their own son's funeral. Once Gerald leaves, Tracey then comes back and sees Will, stating that he is her baby's father...
Meet the Browns is one of only two Tyler Perry play that does not feature the "Madea" character.
