What To Know About This Production

WE BEEN KNEW is a funny, soulful one-act stage play about four Black women, one living room, and the kind of honesty that only shows up after the second glass of wine.
What starts as a typical girls’ night (shopping bags, jokes, side-eyes, and unspoken rules), quickly turns into a truth-telling circle when each woman reveals a deeply personal secret. From identity and illness to marriage, money, and the exhausting expectation to always be “the strong one,” every confession is met not with shock, but with recognition.
Because the truth is—
they already knew.
Blending sharp comedy, music, and ritual, WE BEEN KNEW celebrates the sacred space of the girlfriend circle: the rare place where women can take the cape off, tell the truth without judgment, and be held exactly as they are. A surprise cameo adds humor and perspective, underscoring the play’s central insight that women are often each other’s safest witnesses.
Hilarious and deeply moving, WE BEEN KNEW is a love letter to female friendship, emotional honesty, and the healing power of being truly seen.

What To Expect At Auditions

What to Expect at Virtual Auditions

Auditions for We Been Knew will be held virtually. Our goal is to create a focused, respectful space where actors can do their best work and feel prepared for what’s ahead.

Preparation
• Auditions will be conducted online and recorded for casting review.
• Actors may prepare:
o A monologue, or
o A reading from the provided sides
• Please review the audition notice carefully for all required materials, including sides, monologue options, and self-tape or live audition instructions.
• Be prepared to slate your name and the role(s) you are auditioning for at the start of your audition.

During the Audition

You may be asked to:
• Perform selected sides from the script
• Read with another actor
• Take direction and adjust your performance in real time

Please ensure you are in a quiet space, silence your phone and notifications, and remain respectful of the time and space shared during the audition.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong character choices and emotional truth
• Ability to take direction
• Preparation and professionalism
• Presence, range, and authenticity

This is an ensemble-driven production, so chemistry, listening skills, and adaptability matter.

After the Audition

• Casting decisions will be communicated via email and/or the Cast98 portal.
• Not all auditionees will receive individual feedback.
• Callbacks, if needed, will be announced with clear instructions and timelines.

Final Note

Auditioning is part of the work. Whether or not you are cast, we honor the time, courage, and creativity it takes to show up. Bring your full self, do your best work, and trust the process.
We look forward to seeing you.
