theater director
Stages the production
A theater director is the person who oversees the artistic vision of a stage production, guiding actors' performances and coordinating design elements like sets, lighting, and costumes.
The director interprets the script and shapes how the story unfolds before an audience: She worked as a theater director for twenty years before moving to film.
Sometimes shortened to simply director when the theatrical context is clear.
