Kim's Convenience is a play written by and starring Ins Choi. Choi said of the show, "It's a wonderful journey and it feels great to have finally grown into this role. This play launched my career and continues to provide a great vehicle for Asian actors and shines an important light on representation."

The talented cast also includes Namju Go, Jennifer Kim, and Miles Mitchell who starred in the hit Park Theatre run. Edward Wu also stars in the play and the three understudies are Eu Jin Hwang, Lia Lee, and Andrew Gichigi.

This drama is filled with heartwarming moments and moments of humour as it tells the story of a Korean family-run convenience store. The show explores the dynamics between a first-generation immigrant father and his second-generation children.
