Theatre Director careers

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.
