Stand And Deliver- a dramatic live presentation


A dramatic live presentation "Stand and Deliver" will be staged by students of the
High School for the Performing Arts of Jersey City
.

The play is the story of Jaime Escalante, the dedicated and driven teacher who, in the early 1980s, refused to let his East LA students be written off, and inspired their remarkable (and seemingly improbable) success in excelling in advanced calculus achievement tests -- and on to successful careers and lives. Mr. Escalante died earlier this year after a struggle with cancer, and this is a benefit performance, with proceeds going to his family.

Thursday, May 20 - 7 PM
Tickets are $10.
