"Kim's Convenience tells the everyday tales of the Kim family, who run a convenience store in Toronto. (This drama was the inspiration for the Netflix series of the same name.) Mr. Kim, a first-generation immigrant, grapples with the changes around him and the cultural gap between him and his Canadian-born children. This hilarious yet heartfelt portrait of a family, culture clash and the immigrant experience is a must-watch." (Description of the play from headout.com)
