Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the theatre industry and its performers, causing psychological and socio-economic distress. This study examines the survival challenges faced by theatre artists in Meherpur, Bangladesh, during the pandemic and explores the role of language in their efforts to inspire hope and rejuvenate society. The paper investigates how these artists utilized online platforms and employed their native language, Bengali (L1), along with English, to communicate with the local population. By analyzing qualitative interviews with fifteen artists and administering a quantitative questionnaire to fifty-five participants, this study reveals the artists' resilience in overcoming psychological trauma and economic distress. It illustrates how their use of language, including English, facilitated their connection with the community, providing a source of support and encouragement during the lockdown period.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
