Sadec 1965: A Love Story

04/10/2025

I absolutely LOVED my conversation with Robert Bannon! We had a wide ranging conversation about my story, my motorcycle trip across Vietnam, and the two-year tour I've done with my show across 15 cities in Canada and the US.

Talking to Robert made me realize how a huge accomplishment this is for me. Going from a life that was imploding 15 years ago... to today, happily married to the man of my dreams, fully engage with my purpose, and killing it my one-woman show.

I also know that the story of my show is much, much bigger than me. The message of the show is something I truly believe the Universe is whispering through me.

I cannot wait to perform again in NYC tomorrow night! What a treat this is. I hope to see you then.

Andrew Cortes, host of the Stage Whisper podcast, came to my show when I came to the NYC fringe festival two years ago. When he found out that I was coming back in town to perform at the United Solo festival, he immediately booked a second interview with me!

This conversation was special because unlike other media interview I do, Andrew had seen my show. The led to a much deeper conversation together. But he had to hold back not to give away the end!

Find out more about my story and upcoming performance in my interview with Andrew Cortes from the Stage Whisperer podcast, episode 926.

I'm performing off-Broadway in two weeks!

It's been a while since I last performed my show. Six months, maybe more. I'm so ready to get back on stage! And there's no better place to do so than in New York City.

If you are in NYC, I would love to see you!

All the details are below.

An award-winning solo show described as Cheryl Strayed’s ‘Wild’ but on a motorcycle on Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh trail.

In 2013, Flora embarked on a solo 2,000-mile motorcycle journey across Vietnam, seeking to understand her father's incessant silence about his homeland. Desperate to connect with her heritage and to make peace with her father, for six weeks she traveled from North Vietnam to his southern hometown of Sadec. What she discovered was the story she’s been longing to tell. But something was missing. Years later, Flora discovers love letters between him and Hien, the high school sweetheart he left behind during the War. These letters have revealed the mysteries of her father, and decades later have become the lost history Flora needs to finally tell her story.

“In Sadec 1965, I'm not just telling my story or my father's story,” shares Le. “I'm exploring how war, displacement, and unspoken trauma echo through generations, and how love can sometimes be the only bridge across that silence."

Nominated for the 2023 Young-Howze “Storyteller of the Year” Award, and awarded “Best Production Overall” and “Best Solo Performance” at the 2022 Kelowna Fringe Festival, Sadec 1965, A Love Story has been staged at Fringe festivals in Victoria, Nanaimo, Calgary, Hamilton, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Kelowna, San Diego, and New York City. Additional performances have been staged in Arlington, VA; Capon Bridge, WV; and the Montreal’s 6th Vietnamese Cultural Weeks.

ANNOUNCEMENT: The Sadec Podcast Trailer is here!

Are you a podcast lover? Do you listen to books and audio series while commuting or roadtripping?

What about hopping on a motorcycle and traveling through Vietnam with me for a few hours?

Sadec 1965, the story of my solo motorcycle adventure across Vietnam - is becoming an audio drama series! I am turning my show into a podcast series in 5 episodes.

I'm working with two talented artists, Candice Bloch (), producer, and Guy Kelly, sound engineer, to bring my story to your ears. With the professional sound layering and audio world building, you will feel as if you are right there on the motorcycle with me.

Today, I'm very excited to share the series trailer with you. Give it a listen and let me know what you think.

If you know anyone working in the podcasting industry I could speak to about this project, I would love to do an informational interview with them. I'm still trying to understand this new industry, and how to get the series broadcasted.

I'm so excited about this Young-Howze Theatre Award Ceremony happening today! I can hardly believe that I was nominated for "Storyteller of the Year."

Telling my story on a stage has been one of the most empowering thing I’ve ever done. And getting nominate for this award means the world to me.

Thank you for coming to my show in NYC and for this surprise nomination.

I am speechless...

I'm so honored to be nominated for "Storyteller of the Year" award by the Young-Howze Theatre Journal ()! They came my show at the NYC Fringe Festival () last February.

And being nominated alongside my friend Luis Roberto Herrera () for his fantastic show "As I Eat the World" - that I had the pleasure of seeing in NYC in November - is just amazing.

Dana and Ricky, this means a lot. Thank you for coming to my show and providing such a thoughtful review. I look forward to the award ceremony on March 10th!

Early this morning, I walked over to the CBC studios in Kelowna. I was welcomed by Joseph Otoo and Chris Walker, smiling and joking away in their little studio on Lawrence street.

This was a deep interview. Chris did not waste time with small talk - he went right into it. "What was your relationship with your father?" and "Did the trip help you heal from that relationship?"

Ten minutes went by like one, and soon we were wrapping up the interview. Honestly, it was a bit of a haze. I was focused on choosing my words carefully while Chris was sustaining eye contact with me the entire time. At the end of the interview, I turned the conversation away from me and towards the listeners.

"We all have a need to be seen. All of us. And I know that there are good stories out there. What I would like to ask our listeners is, what story would YOU like to share with the world?"

This ended the interview on high note. Chris loved it, we shook hands and I was out there.
