ABOUT "JACK IN A BOX"

He used to love theatre...until he sold tickets for it...

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.
