"What Just Happened" presented by the Wheeler Opera House. Robert DeNiro stars as Ben in this comedy about two nail-biting, back-stabbing, roller-coaster weeks in the world of a middle-aged Hollywood producer. Already over his head trying to balance two ex-wives, his latest movie starring Sean Penn (Sean Penn) is going completely screwy, drawing the ire of iron-gloved studio chief Lou and tangling with the film’s rebellious and drug-addled director. Meanwhile, Ben’s shocked by his fast-maturing daughter; infuriated by his screenwriter friend), horrified by a hirsute Bruce Willis (Bruce Willis); and flummoxed by Willis’ nebbishy agent. 7:30 p.m. at the Wheeler in Aspen. Cost: $9. 920-5770.
