Selim Al Deen Muktamanch

Selim Al Deen Muktamanch is an ancient Greek styled Theatre in Jahangirnagar University. The open air stage is located on the slope of a mound to the east of the university's Student-Teacher Center, and to the south of the cafeteria.[1] It is the first open air theatre in South Asia built in the style of Ancient Greece.[2] Initially known as the cultural shrine of the university, it was long referred to simply as 'Mukt Manch', after which it was officially named posthumously in honor of its master planner, Salim Al Deen.[2][3] Muktamanch made its debut in 1980 by staging the play 'Shakuntala'.[4]
