North Bay Stage and Screen is an information hub and blog created by journalist David Templeton, a longtime Bay Area writer, theater and film reviewer, columnist, playwright, producer and performer.

In addition to updates on local theater and film happenings—with David’s personal commentary and opinions—this site will feature links to David’s various disparate writings, columns, reviews, feature stories, and journalistic reports, which appear in numerous publications all over the country.
