THE PLAY THAT INSPIRED THE BELOVED NETFLIX SERIES

This award-winning comedy drama, which inspired the Netflix hit, is a hilarious, feel-good story about a Korean family-run corner store. Mr. Kim works hard to support his wife and children with his Toronto convenience store. As he evaluates his future, he faces both a changing neighborhood landscape and the gap between his values and those of his Canadian-born children. Playwright Ins Choi, who will also star in the production as the titular character, calls Kim’s Convenience his “love letter to his parents and to all first-generation immigrants who call Canada their home.”

"Everything theatre should be: well written, well designed, and well acted."

The Globe and Mail

"Extraordinary! A timeless, beautiful and heartfelt ode to the immigrant experience."
