[9]Chairs: Duralee Riverside Chair, Target Mid Century Modern Zig Zag Chair, Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams Draper Chair
[10]
[11]Why: Max Fabian, Eve Harrington, Miss Claudia Caswell, Addison DeWitt, blameless Bill and conniving Karen — all with no place to sit. Plus this lugubrious evening could use some jazzing up.
