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.

Kilroy Was Here was the most incredible show ever. The audience was clapping, crying, applauding, standing and cheering! We got comments such as the best show our school has ever done! An 86 year old Japanese woman who had been in internment camps, yet became a citizen at age 70, said ‘I wanted to stand in the military salute. I am so proud to be an American.’ Dianne Padget, Mira Loma, CA
We have done Kilroy Was Here twice and each time it was a little different. We used pictures of each student’s family armed service members in the last number an there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. Donna Ellis, Clarkston Village Youth Players Theater, Clarkston, MI
Patriotic nature, content & meaning.
The music and dance is straight out of the 1940s, featuring jitterbug and swing. It is an uplifting tale of American courage and determination. Oswego Daily News, Oswego NY
