ABOUT "JACK IN A BOX"
Meet Jack. A once mild mannered young man with a BFA in Acting and no life skills.
He takes a job at an off-off Broadway Box Office because it doesn't involve wearing a blazer or using Excel. A few years and thousands of customers later, watch Jack try to manage his anger.
But like all caged animals, he is going to throw his own sh*t at you sooner or later. Service with a smirk, that's all you can ask for.
JACK IN A BOX is an original web sitcom from the mind of Michael Cyril Creighton. Past episodes have featured Patrick Heusinger (Spamalot, Next Fall, Gossip Girl, 30 Rock), Jackie Hoffman (Xanadu, Hairspray, The Addams Family and 30 Rock) and Beth Cole (Jack Goes Boating, LAByrinth Theater Company Member).
