প্রতিবারের ন্যায় এবারের BD Fest-এও ABS একটি হৃদয়স্পর্শী ছোট নাটিকা—“হতাশা থেকে হাদিয়া”—মঞ্চস্থ করে তাদের সৃজনশীল যাত্রা অব্যাহত রেখেছে। ছোট কিন্তু শক্তিশালী নাটিকা “হতাশা থেকে হাদিয়া” দর্শকদের মন জয় করেছে। দলের প্রতিটি সদস্যের পরিশ্রমই আমাদের এই সাফল্যের আসল শক্তি! নাটকটির প্রতিটি মুহূর্তকে সুন্দর করে তুলেছেন আমাদের প্রিয় Sujan Sarker ভাইয়ার অসাধারণ নির্দেশনা এবং প্রতিটি পদক্ষেপে আমাদের অনুপ্রেরণা হয়ে আছেন Tanvir Ferdousi ভাই। 💙🔥
