Opening tomorrow, November 10, Pacific Theatre brings Ins Choi’s Son of a Preacherman back to Vancouver for a nearly sold out run.
Since its world premiere at Pacific Theatre in Spring 2025, the play has had successful runs in Ottawa and Toronto. This return production runs at The Revue Stage on Granville Island until November 14, before wrapping its Canadian Tour at Kamloops, Sagebrush Theatre from November 18 to 29.
Full of warm, witty, dialogue with a musical flair, Ins Choi brings to light stories of faith, creativity, and growing up as the only son of the head pastor at a Korean church. A whimsical and heartfelt tribute from a Canadian theatre icon to his father, his passion, and Korean-Canadian communities Choi’s deeply personal show sits at the intersection of faith and art.
Nominated for six Jessie Richardson Theatre Awards, including Outstanding Production of a Play, Outstanding Direction, and Outstanding Performance in a Comedic Lead Role, and the recipient of awards for Outstanding Original Script and Significant Artistic Achievement, Son of a Preacherman is a funny, profound, and irresistibly engaging production from the creator of Kim’s Convenience and Bad Parent.
Ins Choi’s Son of a Preacherman runs November 10 to 14 at The Revue Stage, 1601 Johnson Street, Granville Island. Find (limited availability) tickets and showtimes at pacifictheatre.org
