This hilarious and heartwarming award-winning comedy drama about a Korean family-run corner store that inspired the popular Netflix hit is a feel-good ode to generations of immigrants who have made Canada the country that it is today. 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 Canada-born children. Playwright Ins Choi, who will also star in the production as the title character, calls Kim’s Convenience his “love letter to his parents and to all first-generation immigrants who call Canada their home.”

Kim’s Convenience

Manoa Valley Theatre

The play that started it all – Kim's Convenience returns to the stage where it all began and reunites celebrated playwright Ins Choi with its original director, Weyni Mengesha. The most successful Canadian play of the last decade, Kim’s Convenience immediately resonated with Torontonians, becoming the most popular show in Soulpepper’s history. After leaving the Soulpepper stage Kim’s Convenience went on to become an internationally successful TV show on CBC and Netflix, and now makes its triumphant return home.

This beloved Soulpepper favourite returns just in time for the holidays! Alligator Pie brings the celebrated children’s poems of Dennis Lee to vibrant theatrical life. Full of invention and imagination, it's a show that is joyous, musical, and fun for all members of the family. Watch the cast, made up of the 2024 Soulpepper Academy ensemble, as they create a world out of everyday objects that captures the child-like whimsy of each poem.

Before it became an award-winning, hit comedy series on Netflix, the playful, sweet, and hilarious Kim’s Convenience was a smash on stage. At Mr. Kim’s corner variety store, the only thing that isn’t for sale is his family legacy—but with big-dollar projects moving in, does everyone have their price?
