KIM'S CONVENIENCE TORONTO & NORTH AMERICA TOUR
Kim's Convenience is currently on a Canadian and North American tour in partnership with Soulpepper and American Conservatory Theatre
​​
Kim's Convenience has returned to the stage where it began! This tour reunites celebrated playwright Ins Choi with original director Weyni Mengesha.
The most successful Canadian play of the last decade, Kim’s Convenience became an internationally successful TV show on CBC and Netflix following its original run at Soulpepper and now makes its triumphant return home.
Kim's Convenience returned to Soulpepper in August 2025, following an initial run in February and March 2025 before heading off on its North American tour.
​
​​​​
Humour and heart on every aisle.
The hilarious and heartwarming award-winning comedy-drama about a family-run Korean store that inspired the 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 at his Toronto convenience store. As he evaluates his future, he faces both a changing neighbourhood landscape and the gap between his values and those of his Canada-born children. Written by Ins Choi.
​
Choi calls Kim’s Convenience his ‘love letter to his parents and to all first-generation immigrants who call Canada their home.’
