June 30, 2006 (ITHACA, NY)- Judy Blume’s classic story of sibling rivalry hits the Hangar Stage for one day only. On Saturday, July 8th, the Hangar Theatre’s KIDDSTUFF season continues with Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. Performed at 10 am and Noon, Tales presents the tragicomic saga of Peter Hatcher, older brother of three-year-old terror, Fudge. Because he's the oldest, Peter must deal with his little brother Fudgie's disgusting cuteness, his constant meddling with Peter's stuff, and other grave offenses, one of which is almost too much to bear.

Passed on from babysitters to their young charges, from big sisters to little brothers, and from parents to children, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing and its cousins (Superfudge, Fudge-a-Mania, and Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great) have entertained children since they first appeared in the early 1970s. Adapted from Judy Blume’s original story and directed by Sam Gold, this KIDDSTUFF production of Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing is made possible at the Hangar Theatre with the support of Cayuga Family Medicine.

Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing will also be the Hangar Theatre’s Fall School Tour production. Designed to augment New York State curriculum requirements, the Hangar Theatre’s school tour program features professional cast and crews creating theatrical experiences that tackle core areas of study and important social issues. This year’s production of Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing continues a successful tradition of bringing theatre into schools throughout the Northeast.

From October 11th through November 17th, the Fall leg of the 2006-07 School Tour will take the Hangar crew all over Upstate New York, into Long Island, and across the border into Northern Pennsylvania. Dates for the tour are being booked now. The Hangar’s School Tour is made possible thanks to the support of Borg-Warner/Morse TEC.
