For the next few nights, audiences will fill multiple local theaters and watch a few very different productions. Two of the shows people can attend this week are the play "Private Lives" at Western Wyoming Community College and the musical "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" by The Starling Company at the Broadway Theater. These two productions may seem like they're on opposite ends of the spectrum at first glance. "Private Lives" is a straight play (not a musical) and a comedy of manners about wealthy...
