Advancement Prospects
Stage directors advance their careers in a number of ways. The most common is by directing more prestigious productions or directing a show in a more prestigious theater. Most producers would rather hire a well-known stage director or one who has some experience than one who has little background in the field. On the surface, advancement prospects appear poor for stage directors. In some cases, however, an individual directs a production that is reviewed very well or even turns into a hit. As each director builds on his or her successes, they may find themselves in greater demand.
