What an amazing night with Ins Choi’s new play, Son of a Preacherman, at the National Arts Centre on September 18!  Through a beautiful performance, Ins Choi shared his journey—from his roots and growing up in a Korean immigrant pastor’s family in Canada to becoming the creative artist he is today. His story deeply moved a full house and left a lasting impression on the audience. Following the performance, Ins Choi had the chance to connect with audiences more personally at a special post-show reception presented in collaboration with the Korean Cultural Centre Canada. Adding a taste of Korea to the evening, guests also enjoyed songpyeon, a traditional Korean rice cake enjoyed during Chuseok. A heartfelt thank you to Ins Choi, the National Arts Centre, and everyone who joined us for making this such a memorable evening!
