Amélie Bergeron

On September 3, 2024, Amélie Bergeron became the new NAC French Theatre's Associate Artistic Director, Youth Programming! 

A graduate (2012) of the Stage Direction and Artistic Creation program at the Conservatoire d’art dramatique de Québec, Amélie Bergeron has worked with a wide range of Canadian organizations—particularly in Quebec City, Montreal, Sherbrooke, Winnipeg, and Ottawa—as a writer, director, and artistic director. In 2024, she completed a scriptwriting course at the École nationale de l’humour, further broadening her skills.

Active in the field of performing arts for young audiences since 2006, Amélie has worked in several capacities, including actor, host/mediator, and project coordinator. She worked for a decade with Théâtre jeunesse Les Gros Becs, company where she served as director of programming from 2018 to 2022. As a result of these various experiences, she has built relationships with many artists and partners across the country, a momentum she hopes to maintain as she takes on her new mandate at the NAC.

“I can’t tell you how excited I am at the prospect of joining the wonderful NAC French Theatre team and reconnecting with young audiences. I’m diving into this adventure with confidence and joy. To those I’ve already met: I can’t wait to see you again soon; to the rest of you (audiences, artists, colleagues and partners): I look forward to the great pleasure of meeting you at last!”

“I love the fact that theatre can be a place of joy, creativity and comfort. A place that can be simple, crazy, funny and outrageous, but where we can also express what moves us or worries us. A place where we can experience moments that are both intimate and collective, where play is at the heart of it all!”
