Stage directions in a play are typically written in italics and are placed within brackets or parentheses. In a group setting, the stage directions are usually read out loud by the director or a designated crew member so that everyone in the group knows what actions or movements need to be performed on stage. The group may also discuss and plan how to effectively execute the stage directions in order to bring the scenes to life on stage. Sometimes, actors themselves may incorporate their own interpretations of the stage directions into their performances to bring depth and authenticity to their characters.
