What’s your church? Wait for a second before forming an answer. Try not to go to architecture and address, or even to a place of religious (or non-religious) identification. Try instead to go to that place where you feel yourself to be part of a larger whole. Go to that state of being, that arena of doing, that community of people — where you don’t have to wonder if you belong – you just know. I’m sitting down to write this letter having just watched a rehearsal runthough of Born for This. We are still in process; scenes are changing, songs are being added and subtracted. And all of that feels familiar. But there’s something right now that feels a little unfamiliar. And I’m trying to figure out what it is. There’s a moment early in the play where a music director asks a singer to “take me to church.” And in the moment that follows — and in countless moments throughout this piece — we are taken. Lifted up, invited in and made to know that we belong. We are not asked to believe a particular doctrine or accept a particular set of truths. We are asked only to be a present participant in a story of belonging and belief that is told without cynicism. Aha. That’s the unfamiliar part. The lack of cynicism. BeBe Winans and Charles Randolph Wright are making a place, as much as they are making a musical. They are telling a story that has enormous heart, enormous open doors for you to walk though and the enormous goal of letting everyone who sits here tonight and every night know that they belong. They are making a cynicism-free theatrical place for communion in the sense of shared community. Which is, I’m thinking, like making a kind of church. Call it whatever works for you. Just call us glad you decided to come.

“I mean, it was weird,” BeBe says. “Like where was this coming from? I thought Roberta must not be taking her medication!” In a Montreal hotel room a few days later, he says, “It was like a faucet turned on and it started pouring out.” BeBe more or less forgot about why he was in Canada. He wrote for days “like a faucet, like a faucet,” until he had

they stayed for six years singing gospel on “The PTL Club,” part of Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker’s Praise the Lord Network. More than anything, Born for This is about family, something you don’t get enough of in a reality-show culture that prefers the dysfunctional, says BeBe. “That is not what we were taught.” The roles of BeBe and CeCe are played by siblings Juan Winans, 34, and Deborah Joy Winans, 31, the children of Carvin Winans, one of BeBe’s older brothers. Of Mom and Pop Winans’ 34 grandchildren, the Grammynominated Juan has always been particularly close to his uncle BeBe. “Basically, Juan thought he was me. Even as a kid, he was with me a lot. He mimics me so much, he always has.” Juan’s singing voice is similar enough to his own in tone and style, BeBe says. He says Deborah Joy “knew from birth that she was going to be an actress. We would almost laugh at Joy about that, that she was so determined she was not going to sing.” Joy earned her degree in theater and will appear in “Greenleaf,” a dramatic TV series about a megachurch debuting in late May on the Oprah Winfrey Network.

a first draft. He called it Through My Eyes. Benjamin “BeBe” and Priscilla “CeCe” are the seventh and eighth of 10 children born to Delores and David Winans. “Mom and Pop” raised their seven sons and three daughters in Detroit, where life revolved around family, love of God and music. “Y’all had to be crazy to have 10 kids!” BeBe says now, as if hollering to his parents. “I have enough to fret about with two. But 10 kids! I can’t even imagine. My brain hurts when I think about eight more.” Audiences can get a deeper insight into the close-knit clan in this Alliance Theatre world premiere, now titled Born for This: The BeBe Winans Story, a co-production with Washington’s estimable Arena Stage. The musical mostly features original songs by BeBe, who shares script credit with director Charles Randolph-Wright (Motown the Musical). The top-flight production team includes costume designer William Ivey Long, a perennial Tony Award nominee and a winner for such shows as Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella, Grey Gardens, Hairspray, The Producers and Crazy for You. The show follows the rise to fame of BeBe and CeCe. In 1981, at ages 17 and 15, they left home for Pineville, N.C., where

The parallels are amazing, BeBe says. While working through the musical’s many evolutions, BeBe has seen Juan lift up his younger sister’s confidence as a singer, while she helped him strengthen his acting. “I say amazing because it was the same with me and my sister,” BeBe recalls. “I always had to build up her confidence. Even today she still looks at me to find that comfort zone.” Both live in Nashville and remain close. “Jim and Tammy were like parents to us,” BeBe says, noting that Jim is still very much a part of his life. (Tammy Faye died in 2007). The two have a common life mission — “a true calling to share the love of God,” BeBe says. Born for This features the Bakkers and other roles based on real people: Mom and Pop; Winans siblings Carvin and twin brother Marvin; and Whitney Houston, who was like a sister to BeBe and CeCe. Deep into the show, Houston (already an established star), shares a quiet moment with the up-and-coming Winans. “When I’m with you two,” she says, “I get to be Nippy again. And I don’t get to be her much anymore.” “We immediately became family,” BeBe recalls. “We gave her a safe haven — totally, just like family.” Houston was godmother to

BeBe’s daughter, and CeCe was godmother to Houston’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown. In writing the musical, BeBe says he and Randolph-Wright aimed for honesty above all. “For me, it’s been a therapeutic and sometimes terrifying experience, because, you know, it’s my life. Every emotion there is, from tears to laughter to chills.” On the page, BeBe’s characters seem to crackle with authenticity. “Those are some crazy Caucasians,” Mom says when she meets the Bakkers. “They seem nice, but I smell crazy.” A barber by trade (among other things), Pop was a “yes, sir” and “no, sir” patriarch. When he didn’t like something, he had to get right in and fix it. “Pop taught us that if one Winans wins, all Winans win, and if one Winans loses, all Winans lose.” There’s a whole mess of them now, including 10 great-grandchildren. Thanksgiving meant 80 spending a week in four large Florida beach houses. How many tickets did the Winans need for opening night? “Plenty,” is BeBe’s answer. Is Roberta Flack coming? “She has no idea! We’ve got to get her here!” A ALLIANCETHEATRE.ORG 13

In Born for This I discovered that a dream deferred does not equate to a dream denied, and that my personal path to discovery has never been charted before. See, we live in a time where social media consumes us and the comparisons of one’s life to another runs rampant. However I am reminded that my personal experiences leading to the discovery of my life’s purpose are unique to me — and while my life may not play out as I’ve imagined, it will indeed play out as it should. What God has in store for me is for me. Melissa Ingram Vice President, Business Affairs + Channel Operation, Aspire TV Born for This: The BeBe Winans Story is simply transcendent! It is a story of faith and purpose that transcends cultural divides and geographical boundaries, and brings forth the universal pursuit of passion and purpose. This road to the awards, acclaim and accolades is filled with rejection and reward, and this production is a compelling telling of the little-known story before the widely publicized glory. Winans’ journey is one of mustard-seed faith that leads him to a destiny filled with obstacles, unlikely advocates and an ultimate destiny fulfilled. Born for This reaches beyond the music and resonates with all dreamers; all of us with dreams, whether deferred, delayed or derailed. This is a show for lovers of music, lovers of laughter and lovers of dreams come true. I am inspired and have, once again, renewed my own personal permission to dream!

synopsis: BeBe and CeCe Winans live in Detroit, younger siblings to the famous Winans Bros. singing group. The PTL (Praise the Lord Network), led by Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, invites BeBe and CeCe to integrate their choir on television. Moving to North Carolina, BeBe and CeCe become television stars and the “adopted” children of the Bakkers — themselves forces for positive change in terms of racial representation in the world of TV evangelism. As BeBe and CeCe explore musical fame and fortune, becoming close friends with Whitney Houston, BeBe must learn to balance his desire for success with his core beliefs, values and sense of his true calling.
