USC One Act Play requests your attendance to this year's play, "Obedience is Mandatory". It is a futuristic world where books are forbidden, and names are now designations. One ruler governs over the town, but when citizens begin to question & resist, she goes to the extremes to maintain control. Come join us for a wonderful early evening of theater! It is a 45-minute show.
