							ACT I

ABODE OF THE IMMORTALS. PRESENT. MORNING.



								Rumbling sound…

								Curtain closed. 

								On the center stage front apron a light 
								shines on the face of APHRODITE, who is the 
								personification of female beauty, charm, & seduction.



							APHRODITE
Chaos…is about to descend on this chunk of dirt and metal in the Universal Outback!
I got two days to stir things up,



								Creation sounds.



							APHRODITE (cont’d)
Inject a little love into the mix, give birth to a new vision and save ya’ll’s ass…again!



								APHRODITE waves her hand.



							APHRODITE (cont’d)

Let There Be Light.



								Curtain opens.

								Lights flash. “Creation Song” begins. 

								IMMORTAL DANCERS/SINGERS filter in carrying pieces of 
								the set, building a Manhattan street scene as the song 
								progresses. Dance Number.



								(then APHRODITE sings Creation)



CREATION 
THE FIRST HAPPENING
CREATION 
AN ORGASMIC TITILLATION 
CREATION 
IN THE BEGINNING
CREATION 
A REPTILE SCINTILLATION




(RAPPER)
CHAOS VOID NOTHING DARKNESS ON THE LAND 
THE FOREVER GODS WITH NOWHERE TO STAND 
THUS CAME EARTH PRIME REAL ESTATE 
THEN THE JOKE WAS PLAYED ON THE HUMAN RACE 
PANDORA…SHE’S GONNA OPEN THE BOX! 
APOLLO SAID, “DON’T OPEN THE BOX 
WHATEVER YOU DO DON’T DON’T OPEN THE BOX!” 
PANDORA WITH HER INNOCENT SMILE 
“CAN I TAKE ONE ITTY BITTY LOOK?” 
“NO!” VENUS SAID, “DON’T EVER LOOK! 
YOU’RE BEING SET UP, IT’S A PLOY BY MAN.” 
BUT SHE DIDN’T LISTEN, SHE PLAYED INTO HIS HAND. 
SHE CLIMBED ON TOP AND STOOD ON THE CHEST, 
IN THAT MYTH MAKING MOMENT FAILED THE CURIOSITY TEST. 
THE LID CAME OFF, THE BOX HIT THE FLOOR, 
EVIL FLEW OUT AND HEADED STRAIGHT FOR THE DOOR 
THANKS A LOT HOE, FOR SETTIN’ MISERY AFLOAT, 
THE ONLY THING LEFT IS ETERNAL HOPE!



(APHRODITE SINGS)
ILLUMINATION
IT’S YOUR WORLD, TOUCH THE SKY, GET YOUR PIECE OF CHERRY PIE.
PENETRATION FOR COSMIC COPULATION!
FREE YOUR MIND, LET IT GO, SWING YOUR HIPS AND FEEL THE FLOW.
FERTILIZATION!


(ALL SING)
REQUIRES LUBRICATION!
CREATION!



								Music decrescendos.



								APOLLO, a chiseled God, enters wearing a loincloth, carrying his Cithara/Oracle.
 

								CUPID, grungy/grouchy with wings enters shouldering a bow and arrows. 
 
								Only the Immortal Trio, APHRODITE, APOLLO & CUPID, wear the colorful Anima Arm Band.



							APHRODITE
								(to Immortals)


OK folks, gather round, this is the story. You know how grouchy Chaos gets, just like his cousin, 
Yahweh. Chaos decreed that if the seed isn’t planted by tomorrow and I quote, “I will blow Terra Firma 
back to oblivion” unquote. There’s just no reasoning with him when he gets in one of his moods. 
Now I don’t know about ya’ll but I, Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, will not stand in line at the 
unemployment office on Mt. Olympus! Immortals! Without these mortals we will all be out of a job.




								IMMORTALS grumble.



							APHRODITE (cont’d)
Immortals! We must not let this happen!



							IMMORTALS
No!



							APHRODITE
Apollo, sugar, is your Oracle ready?



								APOLLO puts his ear to his cithara.



							APOLLO
Aye Aphrodite! We are ready to go forth!



							APHRODITE
Cupie, your arrows ready to fly? 



								CUPID takes a nip out of a flask.



							CUPID
Rock and Roll, Sister!



								CREATION REPRISE.
