History

Patrick Bergé, Scéno Plus’ cofounder and president of the board, grew up in a theatre environment. At age of 13, he started working in a theatre and toured with artists until he was 19 years old. He decided to focus on theatre projects when he later went to architectural school. Patrick Bergé and Lorraine Berthiaume founded Scéno Plus Inc. in February 1985 and concentrated their efforts in designing aesthetic and functional theatres to enhance performer, technician and venue manager work conditions. The firm is now headed by Patrick and Lorraine's two sons: Olivier and Vincent Berthiaume-Bergé.
