Biggest Test in the Universe

The Biggest Test in the Universe is a story of a boy dreading the "big test" which has become his elementary school's right-of-passage.

The pressure to prepare and do well in this test is echoed by host LeVar Burton's daughter Michaela as she practices for an audition, and by the young members of the NYC children's theater group TADA! as they pour their hearts and souls into preparing for a performance.
