Mid Coast Actors’ Studio to present ‘Hedda Gabler’

BELFAST – One of the wonderful things about living in a lush creative environment such as ours is the steady appearance of new and interesting projects and organizations. People with passion tend to find a way.

The latest outbreak of that passion can be found in Belfast, where the newly-formed Mid Coast Actors’ Studio is preparing to mount their inaugural production. The group is tackling one of the true classics of dramatic literature, Henrik Ibsen’s “Hedda Gabler.”

Jason Bannister, a performing arts teacher in Belfast, founded the group and proposed this piece as their first production.

“MCAS is a group that I started this winter,” said Bannister. “We are trying to focus on older plays in the public domain, classics that don’t get produced often in this area.
