Stout Theater Company is proud to present the theatrical adaptation of Stand and Deliver with TWO performances ONLY! Thursday December 15th and Friday December 16th at 7 p.m. Performances will be held at the magnificent Stout Middle School Auditorium (18500 Oakwood Blvd., Dearborn, MI 48124). This stage version is adapted by Robert Bella from the screenplay by Ramon Menendez and Tom Musca.
It’s 1982, and Garfield High School in East L.A. is plagued by gang violence, funding cuts, and a 60% dropout rate. Bucking the system, teacher Jaime Escalante puts his faith in his students and teaches Advanced Placement (AP) Calculus. The students rise to the challenge and pass the AP exam, a test that 2% of seniors nationally even attempt. When the Educational Testing Service accuses them of cheating, teacher and students are tested beyond what they could ever have imagined.
