Theatre Director

A Theatre Director oversees the creative vision of a theatre production, guiding actors, designers, and crew to bring the script to life. You might work in theatres or rehearsal studios, collaborating closely with playwrights, set designers, and lighting specialists to shape each scene’s mood and impact.

Theatre Directors need strong leadership, creativity, and communication skills. You’ll interpret scripts, plan rehearsals, and provide actors with guidance on character portrayal, ensuring the production resonates with audiences.
