SUMMARY:Kim’s Convenience
DESCRIPTION:Ins Choi and Esther Chung. Photo by Dahlia Katz.\n\n\n\nHeart and humor take center stage in this award-winning comedy that inspired the hit Netflix series. Korean-born Mr. Kim runs a Toronto convenience store while raising his Canadian children with traditional values. As the neighborhood gentrifies and generational tensions rise\, one family’s everyday struggles become a metaphor for a changing society. Written by and starring Ins Choi\, Kim’s Convenience is a laugh-out-loud story of love\, identity and resilience that the Toronto Star calls “a timeless\, beautiful\, and heartfelt ode to the immigrant experience.” \n\n\n\nDonald and Darlene Shiley StageOld Globe TheatreConrad Prebys Theatre Center \n\n\n\nSan Diego premiereBy Ins ChoiDirected by Weyni MengeshaA Soulpepper Theatre Company and Adam Blanshay Productions production in association with American Conservatory Theater

SUMMARY:WORKING TITLE
DESCRIPTION:exhibition of experimental art+music\n\n\n\nProject [BLANK]’s annual exhibition returns to close the season with a festival of innovative local art and music. This year’s WORKING TITLE fills the soaring gothic halls of St. Paul’s Cathedral with bold visual art\, multimedia installations\, performance art\, and live experimental music from a diverse group of transborder artists. \n\n\n\nThis year\, WORKING TITLE centers on the theme of Sanctuary. What defines a sacred or protected space? What boundaries—physical\, social\, spiritual—are drawn to offer refuge to those under threat? We invite artists to submit works that engage with sanctuary as a personal experience\, a collective practice\, an architectural condition\, or a political act of resistance. \n\n\n\nAt its center is the world premiere of a major new work by San Diego composer Michelle Lou—a mind-melting composition for voices\, tubas\, pipe organ\, and electronics—surrounded by three days of new works\, installations\, and thought-provoking performances from some of the most exciting creative voices in Southern California\, Tijuana\, and Baja California. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition is curated by sculptor Diana Benavídez and Artistic Director Leslie Ann Leytham\, and artist submissions will be reviewed by a panel of artists: Alessandra Moctezuma\, Alvaro Díaz\, Cat Gunn\, and Luisa Martínez. \n\n\n\nMAY 28 – 30\, 2026\, 6:00 – 9:00 PM → ST. PAUL’S EPISCOPAL CATHEDRAL
