Bash Prompt Not Prompting

For some reason this command spontaneously stopped working when running the script:

read -p "Prompt Text: " my_var

The command does not display the "Prompt Text: "

I can still provide user input but for some reason the prompt text doesn't show up.

It was working fine before and all of a sudden stopped working.

On the other hand if I run the command in the terminal it works fine.

Please help and happy 4th!
