Everyone makes such a fuss about Fudge, Peter Hatcher’s little brother. Everyone in New York City! But Fudge goes too far when he swallows Peter’s turtle! Based on the popular title by perennial favorite Judy Blume, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing is a humorous look at family life and the troubles that can only be caused by a younger sibling.
The play is performed by 17 talented young actors, from ages 6 to 14. P. J. Copeland, a veteran KCT performer, plays Peter.
