See how it all began onstage at the IRT. For over 30 years, the first-generation Korean immigrant Mr. Kim has dispensed acerbic yet fatherly wisdom, history lessons, and ketchup-flavored potato chips from behind his convenience store counter in Regent Park, Toronto. But as condos and box stores remake the identity of the neighborhood, he faces a future filled with uncertainty as the distance between his dreams and his children's widens. Kim's Convenience is a laugh-out-loud funny, deeply moving, feel-good story of love and family. Co-production with Everyman Theatre and Portland Center Stage What others are saying about Kim's Convenience Kim's Convenience at the Indiana Repertory Theatre promises generational dreams, major laughter, and heart-stirring family dynamics.
