Outlook
The U.S. Department of Labor does not provide a job outlook for stage managers, but it does report that job opportunities for producers and directors who are employed by theater companies and dinner theaters will grow faster than the average for all careers through 2033. In general, stage managers who work for small- and medium-sized theaters will experience slower growth as these theaters have challenges funding their productions due to fewer tickets sold. In the coming years, more opportunities will exist for stage managers in large theaters in major cities.
