San Francisco Playhouse presents "Exotic Deadly: Or the MSG Play"
SEE EVENT DETAILS
San Francisco Playhouse will ring in 2025 with the Northern California Premiere of Keiko Green's "Exotic Deadly: Or the MSG Play." Set in 1999, Japanese American high schooler Ami is trying to fit in with her American peers and she is devastated to discover her family helped create MSG, the supposedly addictive and dangerous ingredient that's gained infamy. When a mysteriously cool new girl arrives at school, Ami vows to find the truth and save the world from MSG. Spiced with anime and 90s pop culture influences, this whimsically wacky time-traveling adventure is a riotous romp through teenage crushes, family legacies, and the magical properties of instant ramen. Jesca Prudencio directs.
