Few productions capture the humor and complexity of the immigrant experience quite like Kim’s Convenience. Running at the Kravis Center’s Helen K. Persson Hall from February 25 through March 8, 2026, this award winning play continues to resonate with audiences through its sharp wit, emotional depth, and universal themes of family and belonging.
At the heart of the play is Mr. Kim, a first generation Korean immigrant who runs a convenience store in Toronto. From behind the counter, he dispenses wisdom and lessons from life in his adopted homeland.
The story explores the tension between honoring where you came from and embracing where you’re going, between parental expectations and children’s dreams.
What sets Kim’s Convenience apart is its remarkable ability to be both “hysterically funny” and “deeply moving.” The Toronto Star gave it four stars, declaring it “as sharp, witty, and moving as ever.”
Whether you’re familiar with the Netflix series or coming to the story fresh, the stage production offers something special: a story that’s both specifically KoreanCanadian and universally human, both hilariously funny and genuinely moving.
