MURDER MYSTERY AUDITIONS

Four Tutus for Two

Performance Date: Saturday, October 11, 2025

Audition Date: Saturday, September 6, 2025

Time: 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM

Location: The Bit Theater – Aurora, IL


The Bit Theater is proud to present Four Tutus for Two, a hilarious, interactive murder mystery written by Bit Artistic Director Patrick Stinson. This fast-paced comedy mixes theatrical satire with audience participation, colorful characters, and plenty of surprises.

Four Tutus for Two follows the chaotic opening night of a new play, interrupted by the sudden onstage “death” of its director. A detective, Hugh Dunit, recruits the audience to help solve the crime, sending them on a comedic whodunit adventure. The suspects? A washed-up Broadway star, an Olympic sharpshooter beauty queen, a peanut-obsessed theater owner, a no-nonsense stage manager, a playwright/doctor with questionable methods, and a nosy reporter with secrets of her own.

The show combines scripted scenes with improvised moments and live interaction with the audience—actors must be comfortable blending comedy, mystery, and improv.

  • Hugh Dunit – 40s–60s. Overconfident yet oddly charming detective and founder of the SelectDetect franchise. He’s part sleuth, part salesman, turning the murder investigation into a promotional seminar. Breaks the fourth wall constantly, banters with suspects, and guides the audience through solving the crime. Requires strong improv skills, comedic timing, and the ability to engage a crowd.
  • Nan Binary – 30s–40s. Experienced stage manager, world traveler, and budding director. Practical, professional, but not afraid to give as good as she gets in backstage arguments.
  • Han DeSome – 30s–40s. Former Broadway prodigy turned pompous has-been, now desperate for a comeback. Think charming diva meets lovable goof.
  • Beatrice T. Fulle (Bea) – 20s–30s. Former beauty queen and Olympic 10m air pistol competitor. Talented at many things… acting isn’t one of them. Sweet but unintentionally cutting.
  • Dr. Watts Wong – 40s–60s. Local doctor, psychiatrist, and aspiring playwright. Supportive of the arts—sometimes in very questionable ways.
  • Cassius King – 40s–60s. Peanut oil tycoon turned theater owner. Big personality, bigger ego, and all about the money.
  • Ima Riter – 20s–40s. Ambitious reporter who smells a story everywhere she goes. Pushy, persistent, and secretly insecure.
  • Petre Fied – 30s–50s. The deceased (appears alive at the start). Director of the play-within-the-play, secretly in love, allergic to peanuts, and deeply unhappy with the production.
  • Strong comedic timing
  • Ability to memorize scripted scenes while improvising in character with the audience
  • Comfort with breaking the fourth wall and engaging with patrons directly
  • Physicality and expressive acting for farcical comedy
  • Improv experience is a plus
