    In this episode of "No Script," Jackson and Jacob dive into Rebecca Gilman's play "Boy Gets Girl."

    "Boy Gets Girl" was originally produced at the Goodman Theatre, and was nominated for the Outer Critics Circle Award and the Olivier Award.

  • No Script: The Podcast | S1 Episode 2: “The Flick” by Annie Baker
    This week, in honor of huge blockbuster movies coming out (go see Avengers, seriously... it's a must) Jackson and Jacob are discussing the 2014 Pulitzer Prize winning play “The Flick” written by Annie Baker. This very relational play gets the guys asking all sorts of questions about work relationships, romantic involvement, and there’s even some brief zodiac thrown in there for good measure.
