Suitcase Stories

About

Pacific Theatre is practicing socially distanced seating for this production.

With only her chatty suitcase in tow, Maki leaves her home in South Korea for the vast unknown – Canada. A vulnerable and winsome tale of resilience and self-discovery. First produced at Pacific Theatre in 2016, Suitcase Stories returns: tale of culture shock, falling in love (with a stage), and the evils of bureaucracy.

“Sometimes when you see a show, you know the artist is offering you a personal gift.”
– Colin Thomas

Written and Performed by Maki Yi.

Original Direction by Colleen Lanki. Stage Management and Lighting Design by Chengyan Boon.

Here's what they say about the show

Jeff

A one women show that had me captivated!! I thought an hour had gone by but it was 2 hours. The play kept moving, the story was rich and it incredible depth. The theatre was clean and quaint. The staff made us feel welcomed and cared for in the crazy Covid time.

Loved the show! I felt very safe, the crew clearly took enormous precautions ensuring they were COVID friendly. Maki has created a wonderful and insightful story, and it just feels so good to watch Live Theatre again!
