$10 Off Tix: San Francisco Playhouse’s “Exotic Deadly: Or the MSG Play” (Jan. 30-Mar. 8)

Think fast: Is monosodium glutamate, the oft-vilified white powder seasoning better known as MSG, dangerous to your health?*

It’s 1999, and Ami is an awkward Asian American high schooler whose world comes crashing down with a terrible discovery: her family is responsible for manufacturing MSG, the mysterious ingredient getting all the kids hooked! Meanwhile, a cool new girl arrives from Japan, and she’s not playing by the rules. In Keiko Green’s new play, Ami vows to redeem her family name and save the world from MSG. This whimsical, time-traveling adventure is a riotous and hilarious romp through wild teenaged crushes, family legacies, and the magical properties of instant ramen!

Answer: Nope.
