Take It Easy!

Raymond Fox’s 1940s swing musical deals with a seldom recounted period of World War II history when over 200,000 of our army inductees were enlisted in the Army Specialized Training Program (ASTP). The ASTP was in operation from 1942-1944 on many college campuses, and was part of the lives not only of the ASTP soldiers, but of their families and their sweethearts or friends who were among the undergraduate coeds enrolled at the time. This story is about young men who were taken from their college campuses to find themselves on other college campuses, in uniform. It is also about the girls who saw their boyfriends leave to go to war, and shortly thereafter, were presented with a new crop of young men to console them, if only temporarily. As was the case with some ASTP units, they were abruptly disbanded to provide front line ground troops, which many times resulted in tragic casualties. Here at Jay, this fun-filled and moving musical has brought together the Choir, Band, and Drama as well as students from all walks of life to create two successful and lively evenings of wholesome entertainment!
