"The Wackness" presented by the Wheeler Opera House. It’s the summer of
1994, and the streets of New York are pulsing with hip-hop and wafting
with the sweet aroma of marijuana — but change is in the air. New mayor
Rudy Giuliani is beginning to implement his anti-fun initiatives
against “crimes” like noisy portable radios, graffiti and public
drunkenness. Set against this backdrop, Luke Shapiro (Josh Peck) spends
his last summer before college selling dope throughout the city,
trading it with his shrink (Ben Kingsley) for therapy and crushing on
his step-daughter (Olivia Thirlby). Famke Janssen, Mary Kate Olsen, and
Method Man round out the cast in this coming-of-age story. 7:30 p.m.
daily at the Wheeler in Aspen. Cost: $9. 920-5770.
