Dallas ,
Texas – Childhood obesity
continues to be a serious problem in the
United States, and Dallas area kids are no
exception. In the state of Texas, 25% of children 6-18 years of age are
either overweight or obese. Dallas residents need more fun events that
promote good nutrition and physical activity for the entire
family.
The 4th Annual Market, Set, Go!

wonderful family event that promotes healthy eating and
exercise habits. The Dallas Dietetic Association (DDA) and

cause with money raised benefiting Fit-For-Me, a non-profit
organization committed to reducing childhood obesity rates
in our area.

course is USATF-certified and champion chip timing will be
used. Special registrations are available for teams of 25
and families of four in addition to individual registrations
for people from 10 to 75 years old. For the event schedule,

The event is entitled "My Matisse," and it is
the next performance in Amphibian Stage Productions' "Phibs
at the Modern" reading series.
My Matisse is written by Howard Ginsberg, directed by
Tamilla Woodard and stars Anne-Lynn Kettles. The reading
takes place on Monday, April 26, 2010 at 7pm at the
Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth (3200 Darnell St.)
My Matisse traces the arc of Henri Matisse's life through
the stories of seven women who love and suffer with Matisse
as he becomes increasingly consumed by competition with
Picasso. Touching, funny, and often heartbreaking, we come
to know this Modernist master as each woman lays claim to
"My Matisse - Matisse et moi."
Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for seniors, and $5 for
students. For tickets and more information, please call
817-923-3012, write toboxoffice@amphibianproductions.org or
