∙ 12y agoIt helps keep things more organized with entrances and exits of characters. Also if you didn't have stage directions the play would be a mess because the actors wouldn't know where to enter and exit and when to enter and exit. It can also help the director when he/she is blocking scenes. This will also help a stand in actor/actress if the original fell ill or couldn't make it to the actual performance.
