Date: 2012-01-28 05:29 pm (UTC)Zeus is the executive director of Olympia, constantly flirting with the incoming cast members; Hera is the business manager desperately trying to keep everything afloat and keep her husband's lechery from sinking the company into a legal mess. Hephaestus is obviously the TD. Athena is the company stage manager!
Dionysus actually runs a smaller independent theatre company which mmmmostly involves him and his friends drinking a lot of wine and having a lot of sex and paying for it all with grants; everyone in town knows that's where the money goes, but they also put on amazing shows once a season and it's generally acknowledged that Dio is the most creative director in town, so Zeus hires him on a fairly regular basis to direct shows.
So they're putting on the first show of their season in October and Persephone is playing the lead and Demeter is SUCH A STAGE MOM but she's on the board of directors and is pretty helpful, really, so everyone puts up with her coddling Persephone, and then after a Saturday night rehearsal the cast goes out to the club across the street from the theatre and Persephone doesn't come home, and Demeter is like I WILL END THIS COMPANY, YOU LOST MY DAUGHTER, but it turns out that she just hooked up with the club's owner, Hades, who lives in the apartment above the club.
Persephone finally talks her mother into letting her live with Hades when she's doing a show, rather than live with Demeter at home, "because it's so much more convenient!" Demeter frostily agrees and the entire staff of Olympia spend the rest of the run trying to keep her happy so she won't remove her financial support, and meanwhile Persephone and Hades have amazing sex and she misses a bunch of rehearsals. BUT THE SHOW IS GREAT IN THE END ANYWAY.
The end!

And she's carrying on an open affair with the fight choreographer Ares.

Matt is the son of a wealthy New York banker, and he's working as the manager of one of the smaller branches to get a feel for the family business etc
Nita is a nurse at the hospital down the street, working the night shift, scraping by but happy in her work
she and Matt see each other in Central Park ever morning, when she's walking home and he's walking to work, and they always smile at each other but have never talked
so one day into Matt's bank walks this dashing young Irishman, fresh off the boat, name of Ronan, and he is looking to store a very valuable diamond necklace in one of the safe deposit boxes. Hooray! Matt decides that this necklace needs to the get to the safe in the main branch at once and only he can be trusted to get it there, so off he goes with the necklace in an envelope in his pocket. But he is struck by a bicycle on his way! OH NO
But who should be there to tend his wounds but Nita! She asks his name and he's so embarrassed by the circumstances that he blurts out Ronan's name instead, and is shocked when Nita bursts into tears and hugs him. It turns out that Ronan is her LONG LOST COUSIN, and she moved to New York in the hopes of finding him, and she never suspected that it could be that nice young man who nodded to her every morning in the park!
"Well damn," thinks Matt, "there go my chances with the pretty nurse."
at this point he discovers that in the confusion of the bike accident, THE NECKLACE HAS DISAPPEARED. They look around frantically and spot the envelope being dumped into a trash can by a street sweeper!and the trash is being collected! QUICK, AFTER IT. They try to pay the street sweeper to let them rummage through the trash and are promptly arrested by a passing cop for trying to bribe a city official. They are bailed out by a suave but shady gentleman by the name of Rache, and the three of them go on an increasingly improbable chase across New York City as they track down and retrieve the necklace. AT SOME POINT GANGSTERS ARE INVOLVED?
In the end it turns out that the necklace is a family heirloom, intended for Nita; the mistaken identity is cleared up; and everyone lives happily ever after!
The whole thing is titled What Goes Around.
