Her reawakening puts her on a journey involving a dangerous love triangle. "Two Sides" and its modern noir setting offers up the question... can two sides ever tell the whole story? Award-winning director Alexandra Siladi and Black Lodge Theater have a long and storied history in the arts. "Two Sides" epitomizes their canon of character-driven works.
