REVIEW FOR NUNSET BOULEVARD
"Adrienne Bergeron brings stage presence and humor to the daffiest of sisters...she contributes an appealing silliness to her stage business in the background of scenes and songs. Her strong voice also blends well with the other sisters.."

FALL 2021
Well, that escilated quickly!
As most know, I, along with my husband and furbabies, moved back to the east coast last August--yes, during the global pandemic. My husband just began his second year of law school (in person!) and I have recently become VERY BUSY.
I'm honored to accounce that I'm the Arts Education Manager at the Jewish Community Center in Owings Mills, Maryland. I'll be overseeing anything that falls under the arts and culture umbrella at the Gordon Center for the Performing Arts, but also programming and teaching all things dance and theatre. I started it off with teaching dance for the Habimah Summer Camp Sessions in June and can't wait to keep the ball rolling all year long.
Additionally, I will also be teaching Broadway Dance and After School Theatre at the Chesapeke Arts Center in Hampden, Maryland from September-October. They recently did a blog post on me--check it out!
After a very exhausting, overwhelming, and tumultuous year+, I'm thankful to sink my teeth into a new community of artists of every age, to take a very big step in my career, and to be trusted at both of these organizations with such incredible roles.
Let's do this. xo
WINTER 2021
Welcome New Year! I am happy to see you!
As most know, I, along with my husband and furbabies, moved back to the east coast--yes, during this global pandemic. While my husband (virtually) attends the University of MD School of Law, I am actively seeking employment. I've been continuing to teach dance and choreography for Oaks Christian Academy in Cabrillo, California and a musical theatre dance class for 5 Star Theatricals teenage Musical Theatre Virtual Cabaret. The beauty of the virtual life is that I can continue to see my kids, even though we are clear across the country from one another!
I've also become a listed Maryland Teaching Artist and Choreographer on the Maryland State Arts Council (MSAC) Website! A great site to help employers and artists alike, find work and display their talents, pieces, or offerings to the Maryland community. Check it out!
Other than that, I started a little side hustle of another passion of mine--baking! Follow me @TheKarmaKitchn on Instagram. There, you'll find all the sweet treats I've been baking to sell. It's been a great way to connect with others and feel like I'm contributing to people's happiness--yes, even through a king cake or a dozen cookies.
In the meantime, I'm taking dance and yoga classes, making a fancy LinkedIn page, and taking advantage of all of the free workshops on the Actors Fund Website.
Take time to listen and learn my friends. xo
FALL 2020
What a year it's been!
Well, the biggest news? We've relocated!
Yes, like almost everyone else in the arts, all of my gigs quickly were cancelled in mid March. However, that didn't stop new beginnings for my family. I, along with my husband and furbabies, moved back to the east coast--yes, during this global pandemic. While my husband (virtually) attends the University of MD School of Law, I am actively seeking employment for the fall and beyond.
In August, I had the pleasure of virtually teaching a musical theatre dance class for 5 Star Theatricals teenage Musical Theatre Virtual Cabaret. It was a dream to be 'back in the classroom', doing what I love most-teaching. The young actors learned a difficult combination from Seussical the Musical, choreographed by yours truly. I was impressed how invested and hard working these young professionals were! Thank you to the theatre and Tal Fox for bringing me on.
If you're hiring (or know someone that is!) and like what you hear and see, please send me an email from the Contact Me Page! For now, I would prefer virtual teaching (due to COVID) for anything musical theatre; choreography, directing or general teaching artist work.
In the meantime, I'm taking dance and yoga classes, making a fancy LinkedIn page, and taking advantage of all of the free workshops on the Actors Fund Website.
Take time to listen and learn my friends. xo
Spring 2019
Wow, what a packed 2019 it's been! I've continued my work at the Youth Academy of Dramatic Arts here in Los Angeles, and since fall of 2018, I have co-choreographed and co-directed The Little Mermaid, Mamma Mia and am currently finishing up Aladdin Jr.! I will also be working with them a little bit this summer, directing Once On This Island and Legally Blonde Jr. That's not all the TYA work I've done this year--this spring, I've also choreographed Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and A Year with Frog and Toad both at the Oaks Christian Academy in Thousand Oaks, California. Performances will in early May and I couldn't be more proud to now be a part of the Oaks Christian family. I've so enjoyed my time with those children and with that amazing artistic team!
Big news for the summer! I will be choreographing Catch Me If You Can at the Big Fork Summer Playhouse in mid June and then immediately flying to Michigan, to choreograph and assistant direct Marvelous Wonderettes for Top Hat Productions. Hooray for work in what you love and with people you love working with! I can't wait to take on both of these shows.
Other than that, I've been taking advantage of my SDCF Observership Program. If you have forgotten, after an intensive application process, I was selected this fall to be a part of the 2018-2019 Observership Program. I've been learning more about the art of choreographing as well as direction and though I was very close to an observership (one of the top 4!) last fall, I didn't get it. I say this not for you to pity me but to know that it has made me even stronger and I'm excited with the hopes to get one perhaps this summer, or even to apply to be apart of the program again this coming year. I also have been going to classes and attending seminars through the program and am thrilled to see what SDCF continues to offer--to my artistic vision and my career!
Alright 2019, I see you.

Happy Spring!
December 2018
Happy holidays everyone!
Wow, what a packed fall it's been! After returning from a summer of traveling for some regional work in choreography (My Way in North Carolina, Nunsense A-men in Michigan, 80s Radicial Revue in Montana) not to mention, two summer camps with the Youth Academy of Dramatic Arts here in Los Angeles, I set my standards high for the end of the year. I have been working hard on the co-choreography and co-direction of the Little Mermaid at YADA! But more than that, I've been taking advantage of my SDCF Observership Program. If you have forgotten, after an intensive application process, I was selected this fall to be a part of the 2018-2019 Observership Program. I've been learning more about the art of choreographing as well as direction and though I was very close to an observership (one of the top 4!) this fall, I didn't get it. I say this not for you to pity me but to know that it has made me even stronger and I'm excited with the hopes to get one in the new year (New Years resolution, anyone?)! This fall, I also have been going to classes and attending seminars through the program and am thrilled to see what SDCF offers in the coming year.
Exciting news alert! Now that it's official, I can tell you that I will be choreographing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at the Oaks Christian School in Thousand Oaks, California this winter! I can't wait to get to know another group of talented kids and to have fun with this show. As well as that, I will be co-choreographing/co-directing Mamma Mia at the Youth Academy of Dramatic Arts. I also have every intention to attend UPTAs again this year as a choreographer/director in February and already talking about what my summer will be.
Soooo...just a few things in 2019....! ;-)
As I finish this post amidst the twinkle of Christmas lights and a needed break to celebrate the holidays with friends and family on the horizon, I would like to extend a thank you to you all. It's been a really good year and it's lite a fire within me that went on hibernation for about a year after initially moving to the west coast. I'm so thankful for all the opportunities I have had, the people that have surrounded me for each one, and those who support me in each and every endeavor. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Happy Holidays!
September 2018
This has been a very busy summer to say the least! Since early May, I choreographed a show a 80s Revue Show Montana, Frank Sinatra's My Way in North Carolina and Nunsense Amen in Michigan. When I wasn't traveling, I co-directed and co-choreographed (with many others) summer camps here in Los Angeles including--Singing in the Rain, Peter Pan and a Disney Retreat. And I concluded that all with a lovely and needed vacation adventure in Mexico with my hubs.
So, on my last real "day of rest and vacation", I want to say to everyone--from the directors, to the teachers, to the kids, to the actors--thank you for such a wonderful summer. It's so exciting and refreshing to really go after what and how I want my career to be. Thank you all for making it possible and thank you for setting such a fire within me when I teach you.
Now, as I take a deep breath, and am excited to tackle the fall season with this year with new goals and opportunities. I'm not sure what they'll all be quite yet--but I'm still excited for it.
That. And pumpkin spice. :-)

Summer 2018!
Hey everyone!
WARNING: LONG EXCITING POST AHEAD!
Somehow, it's already August and I'm on my latest summer project. I'm currently in cute town west of Detroit, Marshall, Michigan, choreographing Nunsense A-men for Top Hat Productions at the Cornwell Dinner Theatre! We are about a week out from opening and I have to say that this sweet show is so surprisingly endearing and meaningful. Be sure to check it out and get tickets if you're in the area-it runs through October!
This summer has been jam packed! If you missed my latest posts, I recently returned from two projects. In May, I choreographed the Totally Radical 80s Revue at the Big Fork Summer Playhouse and in July, I worked on My Way: A Tribute to Frank Sinatra at Lees-McRae Summer Theatre in Banner Elk, North Carolina. And when I was home, I co-choreographed and directed children's summer camp production's of Peter Pan, Singing in the Rain and Disney Gone Wild. (I told you I was busy!)
BUT my NEWEST AND BIG SUMMER NEWS ISSSSSSS *drum roll*...after an extensive application process, I have recently been selected to be a member of the SDC (Stage Directors & Choreographer) Foundation's 2018-2019 Observership Class!
More about the program:
"The Observership Program provides early to mid-career directors and choreographers paid opportunities to observe the work of master directors and choreographers as they create productions on Broadway, Off-Broadway and at leading regional theatres across the country. SDCF Observers may have access to the entire rehearsal process from first rehearsal through opening night. Observers will have the invaluable opportunity to observe first-hand the techniques, disciplines, approaches and insights of master artists as they create new productions and revive classics. In addition to Observership opportunities provided through SDCF, members of the Observership class are also eligible to apply for the Kurt Weill Fellowship and the Shepard and Mildred Traube Fellowship."
So, in short, I'll be applying for said observerships and grants through the union for the entire year! I'm super excited about this opportunity and will keep you all posted about this every inch of the way! :-)
Other than all of that (I know...Adrienne, this is already long enough), I've been getting back to the gym and the dance studio for class. If you want to see more of my personal life, check out my Instagram and to follow my blog HERE.
Happy Summer y'all!
Summer 2018!
Hey everyone!
WARNING: LONG EXCITING POST AHEAD!
My time from my most recent project at the Big Fork Summer Playhouse was absolutely amazing (videos coming soon-promise!) but as I write this, I am sitting surrounded by the ever green, ever beautiful Appalachian Mountains. Somehow, it's already July and l'm in the midst of choreographing My Way: A Tribute to Frank Sinatra at Lees-McRae Summer Theatre in Banner Elk, North Carolina. Rehearsals just got underway and I'm thrilled to choreograph to such memorable and iconic songs by Mr. Sinatra. I can't wait to share video of this with you too.

I am still a director/choreographer at the Youth Academy of Dramatic and upon my arrival back in California in mid July, I'll be choreographing and directing a summer camp production of Peter Pan, complete with flying! I'll also be teaching workshops to children of all ages in improv games and dance at the same theatre in my 'off' time from summer camp.
And lastly, don't forget, that in August I'll be traveling to Marshall, Michigan to choreograph Nunsense A-men for Top Hat Productions at the Cornwell Dinner Theatre!
Other than all of that (I know...Adrienne, enough already), I've been getting back to the gym and the dance studio for class. If you want to see more of my personal life, check out my Instagram and to follow my blog HERE.
Happy Summer y'all!
Spring 2018!
Guess what everyone?! I've got some fun gigs to announce--YAY!
I'll be choreographing The Totally Radical 80's Revue at Big Fork Summer Playhouse in May. I can't wait to tap into the decade and have some real fun with these dancers. Videos and pictures in about a month!
And I won't be traveling out of Los Angeles just for Big Fork this summer! In July, I'll be choreographing My Way (A Frank Sinatra Musical) at Lees-McRae Summer Theatre in Banner Elk, North Carolina. Annndddd in August, I'll be working on Nunsense A-Men at the Cornwell Dinner Theatre in Marshall, Michigan.
Currently, I am still a director/choreographer at the Youth Academy of Dramatic and have the production of West Side Story coming up. If you want to see some super cool and talented kids perform in my production, check the website for tickets and information HERE! We are currently prepping for summer and soon, I'll be working on choreography for Peter Pan and Singin' in the Rain!
Other than all of that (I know, blah blah blah), I've been getting back to the gym and the dance studio for class. If you want to see more of my personal life, check out my Instagram.
Oh, and don't forget to follow my blog HERE and happy soon to be summer, y'all!
Winter 2018!
Happy new year everyone! I started off my new year with a bang and am excited to take 2018 by the horns!
Some of the most exciting and current news for me is that I just got new headshots-yay! Thank you Katie Graves for your beautiful eye and work behind the camera. Also, thank you Marcy Saylor for making me feel like the most beautiful girl and doing an amazing job with my hair and makeup. I suggest them both if you're in the market!
Currently, I am still a director/choreographer at the Youth Academy of Dramatic and have the production of Bring It On coming up. If you want to see some super cool and talented kids perform in my production, check the website for tickets and information HERE!
In addition, this February, I will be attending UPTAs alongside Dennis McKeen for the Cornwell Theatre. I'll also be auditioning and hoping to interview at some other theatres for regional work in my favorite line of work-choreography!
Other than all of that (I know, blah blah blah), I've been getting back to the gym and the dance studio for class. I'm also getting really into cross stitching--and not just any cross stitching but the feminist kind (yes you heard me right!)! You can see some photos of my most recent work, such as "Nevertheless she persisted" on my Instagram. In fact, I just started on the face of Hilary Clinton. We may have #45 in White House but not in my heart.
Oh, and don't forget to follow my blog HERE and happy winter, y'all.
Fall 2017!
Hey y'all!
I'm changing things up a bit-in my life, on my website, and in my career. For years, I've always referred to myself in third person on this section because it seemed like the professional thing to do. But now, an older and wiser voice within me has said that I want my voice to be heard-even if it's not the accepted thing to do. And in the world with our current political climate, I think it's even more important to do so.
So, right now, in my world of career news, I'm really delving into what I really want to do-choreograph and teach! I am still a director/choreographer at the Youth Academy of Dramatic and have the production of Beauty and the Beast coming up. If you want to see some super cool and talented kids perform in my production, check the website for tickets and information HERE!
I'm looking for choreography work in the spring and working hard on getting materials together. I just completed my teaching artist/choreography for young audiences reel and you can find that HERE. This February, I will be attending UPTAs alongside Dennis McKeen for Cornwell Theatre. I'll also be auditioning and hoping to interview at some other theatres for regional work!
And then other than all of that career news, I'm loving a little bit more of a 'normal life'. My transition to Los Angeles from New York City has been a lot harder than anticipated. Upon my arrival to the west coast, I felt isolated and confused by the difference in my theatre career (for one, living in the city I wanted and could perform in was a big and weird step-those of you who haven't lived in NYC, come talk to me). But slowly and surely, for the last two years, I've gotten some great opportunities. I have a much bigger apartment (not to mention quality of life), a cute dog and friends-yay friends! And though my husband and I moved out here with a different goal than both of us are currently finding ourselves in, I truly don't think I wouldn't have found that out if we hadn't made the move out here. I have more (desperately needed) time on my hands and I feel like for the first time, in a long time, I'm taking a step towards having a mindful lifestyle. Now, I'm not perfect and I get into New Yorker I-must-work-all-of-the-time-or-I'm-not-successful-and-therefore-no-one-else-will-see-me-as-successful spiral. But I'm working on it, and out here, with room to live and dance, I'm finding it.
Follow my blog HERE and happy fall, y'all.

Keep checking her blog and her website, as she plans to keep updating the world her crazy and wonderful shenanigans. And just wait, she has a couple of surprises up her sleeve. But more on that...later!
February 2014
She's baaaaacccckkk! Adrienne had an awesome winter in Rock Island, Illinois at Circa 21 Dinner Playhouse. Though it was cold outside, she worked up a sweat singing and dancing as an ensemble member in A Christmas Story the musical, under the direction of the amazing Tony Parise. She would like to take this moment to thank Tony, Denny, and the rest of the Circa family for making her time at Circa possible and so wonderful!
Now, newly engaged to her amazing fiance, Matt DuMont, Adrienne is busy auditioning (but watch out--she's now marketing herself as a choreographer too!), working on her writing, and planning an amazing New Orleans wedding for 2015.
September 2013
She's back and hitting the pavement here in NYC! Scheduled audition appointments, new headshots on the way, and a camper to be back home in her cozy apartment!
Keep checking her blog and her website, as she has plans in the next few weeks to update her reel and other awesome Adrienne information!
June 2013
We've made it everyone and have already dove into rehearsals here at the Southern Colorado Repertory Theatre in Trinidad, Colorado. She is working hard on her Albanian accent and dialect (yes, you heard right!) for her role as Katerina in British Ray Cooney farce, Tom, Dick and Harry. The started rehearsals yesterday and just wait until you see their opening night, June 21st. Buy your tickets now!
Her boyfriend, Matt Dumont, and she are already also starting to amp up for the second show of the season, 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. She is working hard on the choreography and excited to (in a few weeks, that is) surprise you with some fun new concepts for this beloved show.
Keep checking her blog and her website, as she has plans in the next few weeks to update her reel and other awesome Adrienne information!
May 2013
It's official everyone (well, it has been for a while, but Adrienne has been awful about keeping up with her website this spring)! She will be returning to the Southern Colorado Repertory Theatre in Trinidad, Colorado this summer with her boyfriend, Matt Dumont. Together they will be performing in three shows! Adrienne will be choreographing and performing as Olive in 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and portraying Katrina in the British Ray Cooney farce, Tom, Dick and Harry.
Soon, updates will be here on her website about how you can reserve your tickets to see one or both of these shows. Until then, be sure to keep checking her blog and her website, as she has plans in the next few weeks to update her reel and other awesome Adrienne information!
January 2013
How has been that Adrienne has not updated her resume or website or reel since the summer?
Well, the only really good excuse is the fact that Adrienne needed a break. Being gone from the city for a complete year due to performing, a huge move in the fall to move in with her man, Matt Dumont, a planned trip to Hawaii in December, and a cruise wedding (yes, you heard right--a wedding that took place on a cruise ship) immediately after the new year, had a lot to do with it.
Okay, so maybe that's more than one excuse...
But either way, now you're all caught up and Adrienne is back and ready for action! She is currently working forBluePrint Juice as a Brand Ambassador and as a dancer, she is extremely excited to represent a company that she not only believes in but appreciates the healthy lifestyle she is always striving for, that this company has achieved. She also works at the Manhattan Plaza Health Club in midtown and is happy to be working out and taking classes again. Besides that, she is busy prepping for upcoming auditions in late January and all of February and is super excited because she will soon have news as for her summer plans once everything is signed and official!
Be sure to keep checking her blog and her website, as she has plans in the next few weeks to update her reel and other awesome Adrienne information!
August 2012
What is there to say but what a wonderful summer Adrienne has had at the Southern Colorado Repertory Theatre! She is currently in her second of three weekends for Ken Ludwig's Fox on the Fairway--a fantastic farce centered around golf. Get your tickets now before this amazing show runs out!
As stated by Cynthia Berresse Ploski of The Chronicle News of Trinidad, Colorado the show is "fun, it's frothy...fun for the family, fabulous, fantastic, frenetic, full of fanciful frolicking. And all of this is what Farce is supposed to be." She also tells readers "Adrienne Bergeron...who budded brightly forth as choreographer and dancer in "They're Playing Our Song," comes to full bloom as Pamela, the sardonic glamour gal with a good heart.".
As she and her boyfriend, Matt DuMont, end their summer here in Trinidad, it is a bit bittersweet. They have been able not only to share this summer together, but they have been supported by such an amazing artistic staff and community, enjoyed countless adventures, and just been beyond blessed to be here.
Adrienne sincerely hopes that this is not goodbye to the SCRT and her new found family here, just a "see you later". Thank you all (and especially to Fred and Harriet) for reminding her why she does what she does and why she truly couldn't live without it.
July 2012
Wow! What an amazing and productive summer this has already been at the Southern Colorado Repertory Theatre! She recently closed the production of On Golden Pond, and this weekend has opened They're Playing Our Song. Even more awesome than that, she is proud to announce her professional choreography debut! She is very honored to have this opportunity, and although she has taught many classes, been a dance captain several times, and directed and choreographed many children productions, she is beyond happy to have this chance. Therefore she'd like to send a special thanks out to the director of the show, Greg Hinrichsen. She looks forward to having many more such professional choreographic endeavors in her future. So long story short, get your tickets now for this fun 1970s musical!
In other news, her main squeeze Matt DuMont, plan to go to Santa Fe this weekend before they start rehearsals for the fantastic crazy farce, Fox on the Fairway!
And although rehearsals have made life a little busy, she is still updating her blog! So be sure to check it out for pictures and stories of her adventures in the west!
June/July 2012
Adrienne is officially now in Colorado and loving it! She is currently finishing her second weekend of Southern Colorado Repertory Theatre's production of On Golden Pond, so get your tickets now because there's only one more week of shows! This has been a wonderful journey along with her wise director, Harriet Vaugeois, and a real treat to be a full fledge actor again. Usually singing and dancing in musicals, Adrienne has throughly enjoyed the refreshing experience of finding the troubled adult of Chelsea and sharing the stage with such an amazingly talented cast.
While finishing the last few weekends of Pond, she is also fast into rehearsals for They're Playing Our Song, of which she is proud to announce that she is the choreographer for this fun 1970s musical! Soon to open July 6th and run through July 21st--be sure to get your tickets now!
In other news, her main squeeze Matt DuMont, and she have been hiking, enjoying the Colorado terrain, and loving the life of performing together (fancy that)!
And although rehearsals have made life a little busy, she is still updating her blog! So be sure to check it out for pictures and stories of her adventures in the west!
May/June 2012
Adrienne is back in the city and couldn't be more excited! She had an amazing time working for the past nine months as a resident actor at the Palace Theatre in Manchester, New Hampshire. While there, she performed in four professional productions, including portraying Go To Hell Kitty in Chicago, choreographed three Palace Youth Theatre productions including two casts of Annie Jr. totaling teaching over a hundred children, taught weekend beginner, intermediate, and advanced ballet and jazz dance classes, performed in a Manchester children's tour entitled I Think I Can, and choreographed/co-directed two full length productions for the Palace Theatre Apprentice Company. She wouldn't trade her experience for the world and is beyond thankful to the Palace Theatre artistic staff for the wonderful opportunity she was given!
Now it's on to bigger and better! With a new haircut (she's keepin' it short, folks!) and new headshots in hand, Adrienne is making a pit stop in the NYC but she is on the move again! From June until the end of August, Adrienne will be performing at the Southern Colorado Repertory Theatre in Trinidad, Colorado and if that wasn't awesome enough, she will be accompanied and sharing the stage with her only squeeze, Matt DuMont!
She is also planning to blog this summer (yes, she fell on the bandwagon on that while in New Hampshire...sorry!) so you can keep up with her and her boyfriend's shenanigans this summer! Pictures will be included and lots of fun--they plan to pet wolves this summer. Want to know more? Go to her blog! And be sure to check out all of the production photos and headshots that she has just put on this website today!
April 2012
Wow! How is it already April and Adrienne hasn't updated her website once?! Perhaps she's been super busy--read below as to why!
Chicago at the Palace Theatre is up and running--there are two more weekends so be sure not to miss her as the Go To Hell Kitty!
Also, at the Palace, Adrienne is touring with a theatre for young audiences production of I Think I Can for the next two months. In addition to the tour and the professional production of Chicago, she is still teaching dance classes to the apprentice and teen company students on the weekends, choreographing the Palace Youth Theatre production of Mulan Jr., and currently choreographing and co-directing Dear Edwina Jr. for the Apprentice Company. Whew.
Legally Blonde will soon be in rehearsals and her stay at the Palace is starting to sadly diminish--she only has 7 weeks left as a resident artist. It's hard to believe that time has gone by this quickly and Adrienne is slowly realizing what an amazing impact the Palace has had on her career and her life. Let's make these seven weeks positive and awesome!
Also, in other great news, Adrienne has just signed her next contract. She will be returning and performing this summer at the Southern Colorado Repertory Theatre in Trinidad, Colorado. Adrienne has not worked with the SCRT in almost six years and is ecstatic to return to such a fantastic theatre and family! She will portray Chelsea in On Golden Pond, ensemble chorus in They're Playing Our Song, and Pamela in Fox on the Fairway. And what's best is that her amazing boyfriend, Matt DuMont, will also be performing with her at her side.
In short, life is good and Adrienne is lucky enough to do what she loves for a paycheck. :)
January 2012!
Happy new year! Adrienne can hardly believe it's the new year, much less already 2012. In January, Adrienne is still busy at the Palace Theatre and is so excited to be returning as a resident for the spring season. (That also means she will be in Chicago in March and Legally Blonde come April/May!)

REVIEW FOR NUNSET BOULEVARD
"Adrienne Bergeron brings stage presence and humor to the daffiest of sisters...she contributes an appealing silliness to her stage business in the background of scenes and songs. Her strong voice also blends well with the other sisters.."

CURRENT NEWS ARCHIVE:
FALL 2021
Well, that escilated quickly!
As most know, I, along with my husband and furbabies, moved back to the east coast last August--yes, during the global pandemic. My husband just began his second year of law school (in person!) and I have recently become VERY BUSY.
I'm honored to accounce that I'm the Arts Education Manager at the Jewish Community Center in Owings Mills, Maryland. I'll be overseeing anything that falls under the arts and culture umbrella at the Gordon Center for the Performing Arts, but also programming and teaching all things dance and theatre. I started it off with teaching dance for the Habimah Summer Camp Sessions in June and can't wait to keep the ball rolling all year long.
Additionally, I will also be teaching Broadway Dance and After School Theatre at the Chesapeke Arts Center in Hampden, Maryland from September-October. They recently did a blog post on me--check it out!
After a very exhausting, overwhelming, and tumultuous year+, I'm thankful to sink my teeth into a new community of artists of every age, to take a very big step in my career, and to be trusted at both of these organizations with such incredible roles.
Let's do this. xo
WINTER 2021
Welcome New Year! I am happy to see you!
As most know, I, along with my husband and furbabies, moved back to the east coast--yes, during this global pandemic. While my husband (virtually) attends the University of MD School of Law, I am actively seeking employment. I've been continuing to teach dance and choreography for Oaks Christian Academy in Cabrillo, California and a musical theatre dance class for 5 Star Theatricals teenage Musical Theatre Virtual Cabaret. The beauty of the virtual life is that I can continue to see my kids, even though we are clear across the country from one another!
I've also become a listed Maryland Teaching Artist and Choreographer on the Maryland State Arts Council (MSAC) Website! A great site to help employers and artists alike, find work and display their talents, pieces, or offerings to the Maryland community. Check it out!
Other than that, I started a little side hustle of another passion of mine--baking! Follow me @TheKarmaKitchn on Instagram. There, you'll find all the sweet treats I've been baking to sell. It's been a great way to connect with others and feel like I'm contributing to people's happiness--yes, even through a king cake or a dozen cookies.
In the meantime, I'm taking dance and yoga classes, making a fancy LinkedIn page, and taking advantage of all of the free workshops on the Actors Fund Website.
Take time to listen and learn my friends. xo
FALL 2020
What a year it's been!
Well, the biggest news? We've relocated!
Yes, like almost everyone else in the arts, all of my gigs quickly were cancelled in mid March. However, that didn't stop new beginnings for my family. I, along with my husband and furbabies, moved back to the east coast--yes, during this global pandemic. While my husband (virtually) attends the University of MD School of Law, I am actively seeking employment for the fall and beyond.
In August, I had the pleasure of virtually teaching a musical theatre dance class for 5 Star Theatricals teenage Musical Theatre Virtual Cabaret. It was a dream to be 'back in the classroom', doing what I love most-teaching. The young actors learned a difficult combination from Seussical the Musical, choreographed by yours truly. I was impressed how invested and hard working these young professionals were! Thank you to the theatre and Tal Fox for bringing me on.
If you're hiring (or know someone that is!) and like what you hear and see, please send me an email from the Contact Me Page! For now, I would prefer virtual teaching (due to COVID) for anything musical theatre; choreography, directing or general teaching artist work.
In the meantime, I'm taking dance and yoga classes, making a fancy LinkedIn page, and taking advantage of all of the free workshops on the Actors Fund Website.
Take time to listen and learn my friends. xo
Spring 2019
Wow, what a packed 2019 it's been! I've continued my work at the Youth Academy of Dramatic Arts here in Los Angeles, and since fall of 2018, I have co-choreographed and co-directed The Little Mermaid, Mamma Mia and am currently finishing up Aladdin Jr.! I will also be working with them a little bit this summer, directing Once On This Island and Legally Blonde Jr. That's not all the TYA work I've done this year--this spring, I've also choreographed Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and A Year with Frog and Toad both at the Oaks Christian Academy in Thousand Oaks, California. Performances will in early May and I couldn't be more proud to now be a part of the Oaks Christian family. I've so enjoyed my time with those children and with that amazing artistic team!
Big news for the summer! I will be choreographing Catch Me If You Can at the Big Fork Summer Playhouse in mid June and then immediately flying to Michigan, to choreograph and assistant direct Marvelous Wonderettes for Top Hat Productions. Hooray for work in what you love and with people you love working with! I can't wait to take on both of these shows.
Other than that, I've been taking advantage of my SDCF Observership Program. If you have forgotten, after an intensive application process, I was selected this fall to be a part of the 2018-2019 Observership Program. I've been learning more about the art of choreographing as well as direction and though I was very close to an observership (one of the top 4!) last fall, I didn't get it. I say this not for you to pity me but to know that it has made me even stronger and I'm excited with the hopes to get one perhaps this summer, or even to apply to be apart of the program again this coming year. I also have been going to classes and attending seminars through the program and am thrilled to see what SDCF continues to offer--to my artistic vision and my career!
Alright 2019, I see you.
Keep following my life by checking out my Instagram and/or follow my blog HERE.
Happy Spring!
December 2018
Happy holidays everyone!
Wow, what a packed fall it's been! After returning from a summer of traveling for some regional work in choreography (My Way in North Carolina, Nunsense A-men in Michigan, 80s Radicial Revue in Montana) not to mention, two summer camps with the Youth Academy of Dramatic Arts here in Los Angeles, I set my standards high for the end of the year. I have been working hard on the co-choreography and co-direction of the Little Mermaid at YADA! But more than that, I've been taking advantage of my SDCF Observership Program. If you have forgotten, after an intensive application process, I was selected this fall to be a part of the 2018-2019 Observership Program. I've been learning more about the art of choreographing as well as direction and though I was very close to an observership (one of the top 4!) this fall, I didn't get it. I say this not for you to pity me but to know that it has made me even stronger and I'm excited with the hopes to get one in the new year (New Years resolution, anyone?)! This fall, I also have been going to classes and attending seminars through the program and am thrilled to see what SDCF offers in the coming year.
Exciting news alert! Now that it's official, I can tell you that I will be choreographing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at the Oaks Christian School in Thousand Oaks, California this winter! I can't wait to get to know another group of talented kids and to have fun with this show. As well as that, I will be co-choreographing/co-directing Mamma Mia at the Youth Academy of Dramatic Arts. I also have every intention to attend UPTAs again this year as a choreographer/director in February and already talking about what my summer will be.
Soooo...just a few things in 2019....! ;-)
As I finish this post amidst the twinkle of Christmas lights and a needed break to celebrate the holidays with friends and family on the horizon, I would like to extend a thank you to you all. It's been a really good year and it's lite a fire within me that went on hibernation for about a year after initially moving to the west coast. I'm so thankful for all the opportunities I have had, the people that have surrounded me for each one, and those who support me in each and every endeavor. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Happy Holidays!
September 2018
This has been a very busy summer to say the least! Since early May, I choreographed a show a 80s Revue Show Montana, Frank Sinatra's My Way in North Carolina and Nunsense Amen in Michigan. When I wasn't traveling, I co-directed and co-choreographed (with many others) summer camps here in Los Angeles including--Singing in the Rain, Peter Pan and a Disney Retreat. And I concluded that all with a lovely and needed vacation adventure in Mexico with my hubs.
So, on my last real "day of rest and vacation", I want to say to everyone--from the directors, to the teachers, to the kids, to the actors--thank you for such a wonderful summer. It's so exciting and refreshing to really go after what and how I want my career to be. Thank you all for making it possible and thank you for setting such a fire within me when I teach you.
Now, as I take a deep breath, and am excited to tackle the fall season with this year with new goals and opportunities. I'm not sure what they'll all be quite yet--but I'm still excited for it.
That. And pumpkin spice. :-)

Summer 2018!
Hey everyone!
WARNING: LONG EXCITING POST AHEAD!
Somehow, it's already August and I'm on my latest summer project. I'm currently in cute town west of Detroit, Marshall, Michigan, choreographing Nunsense A-men for Top Hat Productions at the Cornwell Dinner Theatre! We are about a week out from opening and I have to say that this sweet show is so surprisingly endearing and meaningful. Be sure to check it out and get tickets if you're in the area-it runs through October!
This summer has been jam packed! If you missed my latest posts, I recently returned from two projects. In May, I choreographed the Totally Radical 80s Revue at the Big Fork Summer Playhouse and in July, I worked on My Way: A Tribute to Frank Sinatra at Lees-McRae Summer Theatre in Banner Elk, North Carolina. And when I was home, I co-choreographed and directed children's summer camp production's of Peter Pan, Singing in the Rain and Disney Gone Wild. (I told you I was busy!)
BUT my NEWEST AND BIG SUMMER NEWS ISSSSSSS *drum roll*...after an extensive application process, I have recently been selected to be a member of the SDC (Stage Directors & Choreographer) Foundation's 2018-2019 Observership Class!
More about the program:
"The Observership Program provides early to mid-career directors and choreographers paid opportunities to observe the work of master directors and choreographers as they create productions on Broadway, Off-Broadway and at leading regional theatres across the country. SDCF Observers may have access to the entire rehearsal process from first rehearsal through opening night. Observers will have the invaluable opportunity to observe first-hand the techniques, disciplines, approaches and insights of master artists as they create new productions and revive classics. In addition to Observership opportunities provided through SDCF, members of the Observership class are also eligible to apply for the Kurt Weill Fellowship and the Shepard and Mildred Traube Fellowship."
So, in short, I'll be applying for said observerships and grants through the union for the entire year! I'm super excited about this opportunity and will keep you all posted about this every inch of the way! :-)
Other than all of that (I know...Adrienne, this is already long enough), I've been getting back to the gym and the dance studio for class. If you want to see more of my personal life, check out my Instagram and to follow my blog HERE.
Happy Summer y'all!
Summer 2018!
Hey everyone!
WARNING: LONG EXCITING POST AHEAD!
My time from my most recent project at the Big Fork Summer Playhouse was absolutely amazing (videos coming soon-promise!) but as I write this, I am sitting surrounded by the ever green, ever beautiful Appalachian Mountains. Somehow, it's already July and l'm in the midst of choreographing My Way: A Tribute to Frank Sinatra at Lees-McRae Summer Theatre in Banner Elk, North Carolina. Rehearsals just got underway and I'm thrilled to choreograph to such memorable and iconic songs by Mr. Sinatra. I can't wait to share video of this with you too.

Other than all of that (I know, blah blah blah), I've been getting back to the gym and the dance studio for class. If you want to see more of my personal life, check out my Instagram.
Oh, and don't forget to follow my blog HERE and happy soon to be summer, y'all!
Winter 2018!
Happy new year everyone! I started off my new year with a bang and am excited to take 2018 by the horns!
Some of the most exciting and current news for me is that I just got new headshots-yay! Thank you Katie Graves for your beautiful eye and work behind the camera. Also, thank you Marcy Saylor for making me feel like the most beautiful girl and doing an amazing job with my hair and makeup. I suggest them both if you're in the market!
Currently, I am still a director/choreographer at the Youth Academy of Dramatic and have the production of Bring It On coming up. If you want to see some super cool and talented kids perform in my production, check the website for tickets and information HERE!
In addition, this February, I will be attending UPTAs alongside Dennis McKeen for the Cornwell Theatre. I'll also be auditioning and hoping to interview at some other theatres for regional work in my favorite line of work-choreography!
Other than all of that (I know, blah blah blah), I've been getting back to the gym and the dance studio for class. I'm also getting really into cross stitching--and not just any cross stitching but the feminist kind (yes you heard me right!)! You can see some photos of my most recent work, such as "Nevertheless she persisted" on my Instagram. In fact, I just started on the face of Hilary Clinton. We may have #45 in White House but not in my heart.
Oh, and don't forget to follow my blog HERE and happy winter, y'all.
Fall 2017!
Hey y'all!
I'm changing things up a bit-in my life, on my website, and in my career. For years, I've always referred to myself in third person on this section because it seemed like the professional thing to do. But now, an older and wiser voice within me has said that I want my voice to be heard-even if it's not the accepted thing to do. And in the world with our current political climate, I think it's even more important to do so.
So, right now, in my world of career news, I'm really delving into what I really want to do-choreograph and teach! I am still a director/choreographer at the Youth Academy of Dramatic and have the production of Beauty and the Beast coming up. If you want to see some super cool and talented kids perform in my production, check the website for tickets and information HERE!
I'm looking for choreography work in the spring and working hard on getting materials together. I just completed my teaching artist/choreography for young audiences reel and you can find that HERE. This February, I will be attending UPTAs alongside Dennis McKeen for Cornwell Theatre. I'll also be auditioning and hoping to interview at some other theatres for regional work!
And then other than all of that career news, I'm loving a little bit more of a 'normal life'. My transition to Los Angeles from New York City has been a lot harder than anticipated. Upon my arrival to the west coast, I felt isolated and confused by the difference in my theatre career (for one, living in the city I wanted and could perform in was a big and weird step-those of you who haven't lived in NYC, come talk to me). But slowly and surely, for the last two years, I've gotten some great opportunities. I have a much bigger apartment (not to mention quality of life), a cute dog and friends-yay friends! And though my husband and I moved out here with a different goal than both of us are currently finding ourselves in, I truly don't think I wouldn't have found that out if we hadn't made the move out here. I have more (desperately needed) time on my hands and I feel like for the first time, in a long time, I'm taking a step towards having a mindful lifestyle. Now, I'm not perfect and I get into New Yorker I-must-work-all-of-the-time-or-I'm-not-successful-and-therefore-no-one-else-will-see-me-as-successful spiral. But I'm working on it, and out here, with room to live and dance, I'm finding it.
Follow my blog HERE and happy fall, y'all.

January 2013
How has been that Adrienne has not updated her resume or website or reel since the summer?
Well, the only really good excuse is the fact that Adrienne needed a break. Being gone from the city for a complete year due to performing, a huge move in the fall to move in with her man, Matt Dumont, a planned trip to Hawaii in December, and a cruise wedding (yes, you heard right--a wedding that took place on a cruise ship) immediately after the new year, had a lot to do with it.
Okay, so maybe that's more than one excuse...
But either way, now you're all caught up and Adrienne is back and ready for action! She is currently working forBluePrint Juice as a Brand Ambassador and as a dancer, she is extremely excited to represent a company that she not only believes in but appreciates the healthy lifestyle she is always striving for, that this company has achieved.

What is there to say but what a wonderful summer Adrienne has had at the Southern Colorado Repertory Theatre! She is currently in her second of three weekends for Ken Ludwig's Fox on the Fairway--a fantastic farce centered around golf. Get your tickets now before this amazing show runs out!
As stated by Cynthia Berresse Ploski of The Chronicle News of Trinidad, Colorado the show is "fun, it's frothy...fun for the family, fabulous, fantastic, frenetic, full of fanciful frolicking. And all of this is what Farce is supposed to be." She also tells readers "Adrienne Bergeron...who budded brightly forth as choreographer and dancer in "They're Playing Our Song," comes to full bloom as Pamela, the sardonic glamour gal with a good heart.".
As she and her boyfriend, Matt DuMont, end their summer here in Trinidad, it is a bit bittersweet. They have been able not only to share this summer together, but they have been supported by such an amazing artistic staff and community, enjoyed countless adventures, and just been beyond blessed to be here.
Adrienne sincerely hopes that this is not goodbye to the SCRT and her new found family here, just a "see you later". Thank you all (and especially to Fred and Harriet) for reminding her why she does what she does and why she truly couldn't live without it.

Pictures will be included and lots of fun--they plan to pet wolves this summer. Want to know more? Go to her blog! And be sure to check out all of the production photos and headshots that she has just put on this website today!

Whew.
Legally Blonde will soon be in rehearsals and her stay at the Palace is starting to sadly diminish--she only has 7 weeks left as a resident artist. It's hard to believe that time has gone by this quickly and Adrienne is slowly realizing what an amazing impact the Palace has had on her career and her life. Let's make these seven weeks positive and awesome!
Also, in other great news, Adrienne has just signed her next contract. She will be returning and performing this summer at the Southern Colorado Repertory Theatre in Trinidad, Colorado. Adrienne has not worked with the SCRT in almost six years and is ecstatic to return to such a fantastic theatre and family! She will portray Chelsea in On Golden Pond, ensemble chorus in They're Playing Our Song, and Pamela in Fox on the Fairway.

In short, life is good and Adrienne is lucky enough to do what she loves for a paycheck. :)
