1979, in the cold unforgiving waters between Vietnam and Malaysia: Hue Le flees her life in war-torn Vietnam for the promise of a bigger dream in America. Fifty years later, her estranged son appears at her funeral and questions whether it was all worth it. In between, she was one of the pioneers of the American Nail Salon: a self-described “Queen of America” who scrubbed strangers’ feet for a living. Queen (of the American Nail Salon) is a one-man show spanning thousands of miles, five decades, and an entire generation in a heartfelt eighty minutes.
ARTISTS: Corey Bradberry (Co-Playwright & Director), Ryan Vo (Co-Playwright & Performer)
