The dreaded high school tradition of standardized testing gets the musical treatment in this hilarious and touching story of eight compulsive teenagers. Over the course of one test, they manage to create and destroy friendships, learns to express their individuality, and sing and dance like maniacs.

REVIEWS:
"...a fantastic ensemble show... Not only was the show especially well-received by our audiences, it was also a fantastic teaching tool in terms of stylistic hallmarks for our performers, not to mention the complex, intricate harmonies and rhythms presented by the score. Very unique and unexpected for audiences -- it was a big hit with ours, and I highly recommend it!"
