WRETCH LIKE ME by David Templeton

"Wretch Like Me," winner of the 2010 Stage One Theater Arts award for best original show, is journalist David Templeton's outrageous true story of a former teenage fundamentalist, and how he was saved from being "saved." A ripped-from-the-70s, episodic adventure about growing up among lounge singers, schoolyard bullies, spaced-out believers (and Proselytizing puppets), this remarkable "one-sinner-show" is charming, haunting, and hilariously funny.

David Templeton has been a Bay Area journalist for over 15 years, writing for the North Bay Bohemian, Strings Magazine, Pacific Sun, TBA Magazine, and others. He is the author of the popular column Talking Pictures, his quest for the ultimate post-film conversation. He reviews theater as a member of the San Francisco Bay Area Theater Critics Circle, and talks about the theatrical arts in his weekly radio show Second Row Center, on KRCB 101.1 FM. Today, David considers himself a recovered Christian, but would gladly have a beer with Jesus should he ever actually return. Though no longer a practitioner of puppetry, David does occasionally talk with his hands.
