This is THE BOX OFFICE, how may we help you?

It’s opening night of La Bohème and Box Office Assistant, Jess, has to make a choice. Does she attend her stepfather’s funeral the next day or stay behind in the Box?

A 90-minute dark comedy, THE BOX OFFICE asks the question: who is allowed to grieve and for whom and what?
