Final Week to Vote: Should Jason Rohrer be Allowed to Review Tanna Frederick’s Next Show at the Edgemar Center?
Colin Mitchell | Jan 07, 2013 | Comments 17 |
The show opens on January 11th and that’s when we’ll be closing the poll.
So don’t miss out on your chance to shame both the Edgemar Center for the Arts and theater critic Jason Rohrer all in one fell swoop.
Here’s where the poll numbers stand so far. Remember you can’t see the results unless you vote.
Loading ...It’s a virtual turtle race! Will Jason be forced to sneak into the Edgemar as someone named Peter Snodgrass and review a show that could very well injure him? Or will Tanna and Jason simply be outed as people that nobody really knows or cares about? It’s all up to you, LemonHeads!
If you need a little primer on what this poll is all about you can read about it here, here and here.
Vote!

The “no” and “who are they” votes, added together, tally one more than the “yes” votes. I am spared. Thank you, Los Angeles.
The day is not yet done, my friend. Polls close at midnight tonight.
C’mon, LemonHeads! Let’s take it over the top and induce ulcers all around!
The question shouldn’t be “allowed” it should be “required.”
Boom.
Keep it coming! It’s a freakin’ horse race!
Thanks for nothing, Brian. I have my future to consider, you know? I’m young.
But thanks for pointing out the essential fallacy in this charade: Colin’s wording (“allowed”) makes it look like I’m begging for the chance to go back to a place I have promised in print to avoid.
Voted.
A review of Jason’s life is passing before his eyes.
Yes, and it’s being written by Colin Mitchell.
Jason,
While I certainly wouldn’t want you to be subjected to any performance that could potentially cause you pain (emotionally, physically…mentally), I have to say that I’m saddened to discover that I may not have the pleasure of reading another review. I find myself quite disappointed and downtrodden, as your delicious wit and sense of irony have proved to be quite entertaining. Your review of ‘Why We Have a Body’ kept me in stitches for several days. In short, your commentary is a fantastic and necessary addition to these productions. I shall wait with baited breath for the next one.
Well he didn’t say he was swearing off reviewing altogether, Lily, just at the Edgemar.
And damn, girl, that was a mighty flirty comment if I do say so myself. “Baited breath”! I don’t know about you, Jason, but you might wanna do a little offline reviewin’ on this one.
Lily, thank you for your kind words.
I am constitutionally unable to quit the critic business. No worries there; and if you so wish, you may keep track of my opinions and afflictions at Stage and Cinema (http://www.stageandcinema.com/author/jason-rohrer/) as well as here in the pages of the Lemon (http://losangeles.bitter-lemons.com/author/jason-rohrer/). I have been reviewing a little less of late, partly as a gesture toward sanity. I’m getting more choosy about the theater I attend. But I couldn’t stop if they paid me.
That’s all ya got for “baited breath” and “delicious wit”?
Weak.
You sound like my girlfriend.
I would be honored to have you at the show, Mr. Snodgrass.
I’m gonna cry.
Mr Rohrer doesn’t know a Mr Snodgrass, but at least one of them must regretfully decline Ms Frederick’s gracious invitation.
…while not forgetting to congratulate Ms Frederick on the opening of her new play.
