Script-In-Hand Series: Tip Top Triangle by Rachel Bublitz

Plan-B Theatre’s Script-In-Hand Series, launched in 2004, provides the first public audience for many a play. This season’s series has a festival vibe to it, with four workshops taking place within a four-week period, each culminating in a free public reading on Zoom. First up: TIP TOP TRIANGLE by Rachel Bublitz.

A
game,
a business,
a book reading.
A scare-the-fudge-out-
of-you cult. Brainwashing.
Pyramid screaming and power
playing. A huge heaping side of girl-
bossing. 1,000 scrunchies. No, more. An
adult woman’s weight in scrunchies. Leeches.
Judgment. Sub-urban mommy “I remove all the skin off of grapes, why don’t you?” level of judgment. A ghost? No. A spirit? No. We’re too afraid to ask. Something. And fire. We must not forget to tell you about the fire. So much fire. Fistfuls of fire. Buckets of fire. A literal garage on fire. Bring marshmallows. Bring hot dogs. Bring cash. Bring blank checks. Bring credit cards. Bring your retirement fund. Now, sit back. Grab a lawn chair, preferably not from the garage. Let’s sit and watch it all burn.
