Following up their Gregory Award winning production of Vietgone in 2024, SIS Productions and Pork Filled Productions present, in association with the Theatre Off Jackson, the Northwest premiere of Exotic Deadly: OR the MSG Play by Seattle favorite Keiko Green and directed by Mimi Katano, at the Theatre Off Jackson (409 7th Ave. S., Seattle, WA), running September 6 to 20, with a preview on Friday, September 5.

It's 1999, and Ami is an awkward, Japanese American high school girl, just trying to stay as invisible as possible. But her world comes crashing down with a terrible discovery: her family is responsible for manufacturing MSG, the poison spice getting all the kids hooked. Meanwhile, a mysterious new girl arrives from Japan. Her name? Exotic Deadly and she's not playing by the rules. Who... or what is she? This whimsical, time-traveling adventure is a riotous romp through teenage crushes, family secrets, and female power as Ami realizes what she's capable of, if she would just stop being invisible.

Exotic Deadly is rated PG-14 for wild teen girl crushes, occasional profanity, potential time travel whiplash and culinary overstimulation.
