Stage directions are important to read because they show what is happening on the stage. Stage directions tell the actors what facial expressions and body language to use, vocal inflections and tone when reading lines, and when and where to stand or move.
It will have the directions in parentheses
it is important for influecing the audience and portraying the character in the play. Without stage directions the play would not be understandable, it makes more sense and understanding with stage directions, body language is as important OS verbal and spoken language. A definite vital device :)

Why am I reading this text?
Stage directions. Such as [Enter Hamlet] Or dialogue revealing what they are doing/did.
no stage directions are the directions or places on stage to stand or cross to.
Stage directions allow for a director or playwright to successfully communicate with the actors in order to bring their vision to life. Like trying to reach a location without a map or directions would be impossible, trying to stage a play without the stage directions would result in a complete mess of actors on the stage.
You need to read the stage directions as well as the lines because it helps you visualize the play. While reading a play, you must visualize what is happening on the stage, so it helps to know when certain characters enter the scene, and where, how they interact with props and so on. Although certain anal-retentive authors make their stage directions very complete, sometimes including matters which do not appear on stage (such as what is happening in the characters' minds), even in these extreme cases, the directions cannot tell you everything. You need to use your imagination. Indeed, the more stage complete the stage directions are, the more a good director will ignore them, as the author's ideas about what will work often do not apply to the cast or space the director has in mind or is obliged to use.
Stage directions are very important when in a play. They tell you where to go and what to do on stage. If the director says go upstage, you move backwards. If a director says move downstage, you go towards the audience. Without stage directions no actor or actress would know where to go. Trust me, I have been in at least 8 plays, and I am only in middle school.# Stage directions are quite important because if the actor ends up in the wrong place it can throw off other actors and ruin the blocking or choreography.
It shows stage directions and what would should do at that moment.
