Deity, a space steeped in elegantly mysterious character, was the perfect venue to celebrate Ridge Theater's new production of the classic Greek myth of Persephone.  Fleurs Bella provided stylish decor throughout the ground floor and subterranean levels and guests enjoyed Mediterranean style hors d'oeuvres from Deity's new kitchen.

As the party heated up guests made their way downstiars to the "Underworld dance floor" in Deity's lower level featuring internationally acclaimed DJ Mick Boogie.

The bars on both levels offered the signature cocktail The Pom Persphone, made with POM Wonderful pomegranate juice and Stoli vodka.
