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:Adult Storytime
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by Eric Garcia’s Uncle Scotchy’s Blues Opera\, also known as The Blues Opera\, Adult Storytime is a stirring collection of autobiographical monologues that explore the hardships and unexpected humor of caring for those we love across every stage of life. Set against a live blues composition that pulses beneath each story\, the piece weaves music and memory into a richly textured theatrical experience. Drawing from her own storied journey as a caregiver to her four children\, including triplets\, to her mother\, and shaped by the voices of relatives\, coworkers\, peers\, and members of the public\, Gobel crafts an intimate mosaic of testimony. Humor lives beside grief. Tenderness shares space with frustration. The result is a portrait of caregiving that is as complex and contradictory as love itself. Throughout the evening\, guests are welcomed to reflect on and share their own stories\, creating a communal space for truth telling and connection. Blending vulnerability with musical virtuosity\, Adult Storytime offers blues through the weight of hesitation\, laughter in recognition\, and perhaps your own story illuminated on stage. \n\n\n\nLight Box Theatre- 2590 Truxtun Rd #205San Diego\, CA 92106
