Michael Cyril Creighton's critically acclaimed web sitcom, JACK IN A BOX, which was a nominee for the 2012 Writers Guild of America Award for Outstanding Achievement in Writing Original New Media and was the winner of Best Web Series at the 2010 New York Television Festival, returns for a fourth and final season on the web.

Last season found Jack battling a tough new boss at the box office, losing his oversexed agent and finding (possible) love & happiness outside the box with a tall waiter/artist named Drew. But how long can Jack be happy for?  All will become clear in the fourth and final season. 

The first episode of Season 4 is entitled "The Compromises" and examines how challenging it is to date an actor…especially when that actor is Jack. The episode description reads: "Dating & living with actors is hard. Especially when that actor is Jack.  Love is all about compromises. And Patience. And chewing quietly when asked." In addition to Creighton as Jack, the episode features Hannah Bos (The Debate Society, The Veri**on Play at Humana) as Millie, Jack's trust fund friend,  Desiree Burch (52 Man Pick-Up) as Jill, Jack's roommate and Paul Thureen (The Debate Society) as Drew, Jack's patient and charming new boyfriend.

The new episode, which was shot & edited by Jim Turner and written by Creighton, can be seen here:

"JACK IN A BOX"  was nominated for the 2012 Writers Guild of America Award for Writing Original New Media and won Best Web Series at the 2010 New York Television Festival. The show  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.
