Kim's Convenience

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.”

OUR STORE: YOUR STORY

Legacy is a central theme in Kim’s Convenience. At its core, it’s a celebration of first-generation immigrants and the cultural bridges between generations. In San Francisco we have an abundance of wonderful local and family-run, immigrant-owned businesses.  As part of our commitment to community engagement, as we prepared to host Kim’s Convenience in San Francisco, the A.C.T. Education and Community Programs team initiated the “Our Store: Your Story” project, meeting local business owners who are a testament to their cultural heritage, values, and love for community, and tell a story of personal identity, pride, and perseverance.
