Erin started her 60 day Cardio Karate Challenge with celebrity trainer J.B. Berns!   She was cast in the trial run of a new fitness program a step up from P90X.  It combines Mixed Martial Arts, Cardio and standard push ups with a custom made pull up bar for some major pull up reps and hand sand weights all available on cardiokarate.com.  She and 42 others will be working out day by day for 60 days straight, tracking her progress with photos and weigh ins and testimonials to get this program ready for the public by mid November/early December.  A HUGE challenge but WORTH it, physically, mentally and financially to make it happen!  CARDIO KARATE!

The Ensemble Studio Theatre
presents a reading of

The Only Gift

A New Play by Mary F. Unser*
Directed by James Ryan*

Secluded on the edge of New York City, thirty-something Shout Tyndell is seduced back into the world by Star, her possibly underage neighbor. The liberating love that blossoms between these two women is mightily tested when Shout’s estranged father arrives with a very tempting but mortally dangerous offer to use her natural born gift just one more time.

The Only Gift is a magical love story that examines the price the gifted must pay,
and the cost of righting a wrong.

featuring Loren Brown*, Erin Roberts,
Scott Sowers* and Megan Tusing
