Cyril Creighton’s JACK IN A BOX Earns WGA Nomination

Actor/Writer Michael Cyril Creighton's theatre-centric online sitcom "JACK IN A BOX" received a Writers Guild of America nomination for Outstanding Achievement in Writing Original New Media. Winners will be announced at the 64th Annual Writers Guild of America Awards on February 19th, 2012.

"JACK IN A BOX" has enjoyed three season and will premiere a fourth and final season in 2012. The series won Best Web Series at the 2010 New York Television Festival and focuses on Jack, a mild-mannered young man with a BFA in acting and no life skills. He took a job at a theater box office because it didn't involve heavy lifting, wearing a blazer or using Excel. A few years and thousands of customers later, Jack finds himself less mild-mannered and less young than ever before. Watch Jack try to manage his anger while navigating an insular universe where everyone is even more unstable than he is. Like all caged animals, he is going to throw his sh*t at you sooner or later... but first he's going to eat a cupcake and take a phone call from his mom. Service with a smirk, that's
all you can ask for.

In addition to writing and starring in "Jack in a Box", Creighton has been seen on stage in
The Debate Society's critically acclaimed BUDDY COP 2, Cape Disappointment and
You're Welcome. He was nominated for a 2010 New York Innovative Theatre Award for
Outstanding Actor in a Featured Role for his work in Josh Conkel's MilkMilkLeomande.

Vietnamization of New Jersey, Delaney Britt Brewers' An Octopus Love Story, Rachel
Shukert's Sequins for Satan, 365 Days/365 Plays, RIP ME OPEN (co-written with
