$5 Off Tix: San Francisco Playhouse’s “My Home on the Moon” (World Premiere Play)

San Francisco Playhouse presents a new world-premier play about gentrification, A.I., and delicious pho. In My Home on the Moon, a chef learns her restaurant is not what it seems. Save $5 off tickets with code FUNCHEAP.

From the windows of the old pho restaurant, Mai watches her neighborhood get gentrified, storefront by storefront. Just as the restaurant seems doomed to close, a mysterious consultant named Vera arrives, helping Mai put the noodle shop on a path back to the glory days. Soon, Mai discovers that things aren’t what they seem, and — armed with bánh xèo, gỏi cuốn, and delicious pho — she must venture into the metaverse and restore balance to her world.
