Station Theater Workshop

The old rail station in Rajshahi hosted a student drama workshop today. Each session began with a light check. Artists hung banners by hand to shape the stage setting. The keynote speaker was a playwright from Dhaka. His talk felt so special that everyone fell silent. A local business club stepped up as the event sponsor. They knew a major festival would hit the nearby stadium next week. The abandoned warehouse now serves as the prop storage room. The main subject today was scripting a play about refugee children. The mayor's office granted a small subsidy to build the set. The director said the play would surely succeed if everyone stayed focused. Rida did suggest adding a song to the final scene. At noon they drafted a script summary together. They thought, suppose it rained—they needed a backup plan. They raised the stage surface so water would not pool. A local surgeon stopped by at dusk to offer medical support. He urged the artists to keep eating well to sustain their energy. The library club's teenage members repaired the audience chairs. A bit of tension showed on faces during the final rehearsal, yet spirits stayed high. Lights strung across the old shed ceiling turned it into a petite theater tonight.
