"The show depends on both a suitcase of props and digital effects, which lead to moments of unintended comedy, such as when 'the gunshot turns into a glass of water being poured,' says former DHFS member Beau Mahurin ’06.

The out-of-tune piano at the back of the studio also is key. Mahurin, who originally signed on as the DHFS musician, recalls sitting behind the piano 'and ad-libbing atmosphere music according to the descriptions in the script.'"

"The tongue-in-cheek plots owe their wryness much more to Oberlin than to the grand masters of noir. 'We take the basic elements and put our own spin on them,' says [former series director, writer, and performer Anna] Leuchtenberger. Woven through the knight-errant framework are running puns, pokes at cultural icons, and merciless metaphors.

A bonus is the second half-hour: the McNasty Lounge Revue, which features cast members with invented personas -- Beau is Hot Hands Hoolihan -- singing period songs from the '40s."
