Welcome to taste spicy Bengalee stage drama.

We are community based non-profitable drama group focusing to promote own cultural activities, bridging between our ancestral visions and views with new habitat. As first generation migrants, we suffer with Conflicts of values and beliefs and through a painful process we end up with a new cultural recipe. We focus to provide next generation a transparent understanding of their predecessor's way of life: encouraging them to be in constant touch of mother language, motherland and large extended family.

Most of the members may inherit intensive experience of stage drama (known as Group Theatre activities at Bangladesh) but we are not mainstream drama activists in Australia. Though we possess demonstrated professional attitude and attributes, but our implementation methods are restricted merely due to various limited resources- we encounter multiple constrain and obstacles.

Inspired by the huge success of first production, we decided to reshape ourselves with developed professionalism. As a group theatre, our motto is to develop own resources and promote members to be more participating all fields of a stage play.

In this production we endeavored to achieve total self-reliance: members did it all. Moreover, members are writing and/or adopting plays for the group considering community audiences expectations and limited resources. Based on true riverine Bangladesh Diptoo Chowdhury had written 'Dumbs Island', Wajih Al Hasan Rajib writing comedy 'Kosim' and Abid Rahman had written his third satyre 'Life Sketch'. We anticipate presenting few young talented directors very very soon. We are also preparing for video productions for Bangladeshi TV channels.

Naim Miraz was amazing with his vision and concepts. In his fifth directed play 'Night Guest', he is matured and constant. In the context of our community theatre here, it is the most professional production ever.

Other than own community, we are grateful to Migrant Resources Centre and City of Kingston for extending rehearsal venues, Victorian Multicultural Commission for financial and Peridot Theatre and Ms. Gaye Gay for support.
