  Theatre direction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A theatre director is a principal in the theatre field who oversees and orchestrates the mounting of a play by unifying various endeavors and aspects of production.
The director, as a position in and of itself, is a relatively new innovation in the history of theatre, with the first examples appearing in the late 1800s and widespread popularity only being achieved in the early part of the 20th century.
Many contemporary directors use a creative amalgam of styles, depending on the genre of the theatrical work, the nature of the project and the type of cast.

 Artistic director - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The artistic director of a theatre is responsible for choosing the material staged in a season, and the hiring of creative/production personnel (such as directors), as well as other theatre management tasks.
What makes a good director is not only the ability to choose a play and select a cast who will work well together but also the ability to approach the material in a fresh new sense- no matter how many times it has been staged before.
It is the duty of the artistic director to find all that is laudabile and praiseworthy in a play, to camouflage and justify the inconsistancies and to make sure that the actors serve the intentions of the playwright.
