This Saturday at 7:30 p.m., come to the PAB Performance Lab (128) for Exotic Deadly: Or The MSG Play by Keiko Green!

Exotic Deadly: Or The MSG Play by Keiko Green is a comedic play that dives into the complexities of identity and misinformation. Set in 1999, the story follows Ami, a 14-year-old Japanese-American girl, who just wants to fit in despite feeling disconnected from her heritage. When she discovers that her family has a history tied to MSG—a substance blamed for "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome"—Ami confronts the myths, prejudices, and identity crises that shape her world. With humor and a dash of surrealism, Exotic Deadly explores cultural misconceptions and the challenges of navigating multiple identities in America.

A staged reading through Theatre Diaspora, directed by Kate Duffly. Free and open to the public.

There's still time to reserve your spot for Portland Baroque Orchestra : The Royal Trumpeter: Kris' Podium, this Sunday, November 17th, at 3 p.m. in Kaul Auditorium! 🎺

Trace the fascinating evolution of the trumpet from its utilitarian roots on the battlefield to its emergence as a refined instrument of expressive virtuosity. Curated by Principal Trumpet Kris Kwapis, this program delves into the vibrant soundscape of late seventeenth-century London, where the trumpet takes center stage alongside strings, winds, and voices in England’s regal courts. Celebrate the brilliance of composers such as Purcell, Croft, and Eccles, whose works epitomize splendor and sophistication in an era defined by royal patronage.

Join us one hour before the performance for a pre-concert talk about the program.
