...budget and a 1984 special Tony Award. Its success has helped spawn a lively local theater community, including the regionally acclaimed San Diego Repertory. A gap remained for those seeking new and avant-garde work, but that was filled in 1983, when the La Jolla Playhouse opened on a suburban campus of the University of California at San Diego. Although the playhouse has staged musicals (including 1984's Big River, which went on to win seven Tony Awards on Broadway, and a 1985 reworking of Stephen Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along overseen by the composer), most of its summerlong...

Watch out, America, full moon's coming. That's when a wily psychopath -- a werewolf of modern paranoid fantasies -- turns some idyllic suburban home into a slaughterhouse. And when anyone wanders too close, the psycho (Tom Noonan) festers into action. A tabloid journalist (Stephen Lang) ends up flambeed in a runaway wheelchair. A photo-lab technician (Joan Allen), whose blindness has not inhibited her taste for sexual adventure, invites the psycho home and is soon in mortal peril. His only nemesis is Will Graham (William L. Petersen), an ex-FBI agent who uses a kind of Method forensics to identify...
