Based on a true underdog story, “Stand and Deliver” is an urban fairy tale, it's a story of perseverance in the face of adversity at the Racine Theatre Guild Friday, April 14 – Sunday, April 23.Jamie Escalante’s mission was to challenge his students to reach their full potential in and out of his classroom. When he is assigned to an inner-city school with a reputation of gangs, drugs, and dropouts, his offbeat teaching methods and quirky humor motivate his math students. Together, the students set a goal to take the Advanced Placement Calculus Test and pass.

Based on the screenplay by Ramón Menéndez and Tom Musca and adapted for the stage by Robert Bella, “Stand and Deliver” is sponsored by SC Johnson and the National Endowment for the Arts.
