San Diego premiere
By Ins Choi
Directed by Weyni MengeshaA Soulpepper Theatre Company and Adam Blanshay Productions productionin association with American Conservatory Theater

Heart and humor take center stage in this award-winning comedy that inspired the hit Netflix series. Korean-born Mr. Kim runs a Toronto convenience store while raising his Canadian children with traditional values. As the neighborhood gentrifies and generational tensions rise, one family’s everyday struggles become a metaphor for a changing society.

Written by and starring Ins Choi, "Kim’s Convenience" is a laugh-out-loud story of love, identity and resilience that the Toronto Star calls “a timeless, beautiful, and heartfelt ode to the immigrant experience.”
