"Kilroy Was Here"
Written by Tim Kelly, Music and Lyrics by Bill Francoeur, produced with special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Service, Inc., Englewood, Colorado. Performed by the community youth of Coolidge and Pinal County
Salute the brave men and women serving in the military with this patriotic comedy. We guarantee there won't be a dry eye in the house after the stirring 'Together We Must Stand' and a tribute to all branches of the military. Still, Kilroy is a comedy and the setting is a U.S.O. Club ('The Serviceman's 'Home Away From Home'') in Brooklyn in 1942. Ships leaving the nearby Navy yard are being sunk by enemy U-boats. Allied intelligence suspects the club is unknowingly harboring Axis spies. Enter Private Joe Kilroy, a young soldier who draws a curious cartoon face everywhere he goes (and is this causing trouble!). He's the only one who knows where the next Allied convoy will converge. The enemy agents are stopping at nothing to learn his secret. The action builds to an exciting finale during a wild radio broadcast. The score includes such hits as 'Don't Say No To The U.S.O.,' 'Slap That Jukebox,' 'Jitterbug Saturday Night,' and 'Rat-a-tat-tat That Rivet,' with classic Andrews Sisters style harmony.
