Sheader started his theatrical career as a Trainee Director at the Orange Tree Theatre in Richmond before becoming an Assistant Director with the Royal Shakespeare Company for two years.[2] Subsequent to his previous directorial work at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre in 2005, he was appointed Artistic Director for the venue in November 2007, being responsible for productions from the 2008 season.[3]
In 2008, A Midsummer Night’s Dream re-imagined for everyone aged six and over was the first of many successful Shakespeare plays specially adapted for younger audiences.
In 2009, The Importance of Being Earnest was introduced as the first non-Shakespeare play to be produced at the theatre for several years.
His directorial successes at Regent’s Park include: Hello, Dolly! (2009) which won three Olivier Awards, including Best Musical Revival, Into the Woods (2010) which transferred to New York, Crazy For You (2011) which was a double Olivier Award-winner and transferred to the West End, and To Kill a Mockingbird (2013/14) which went on tour in the UK, ending at the Barbican in mid-2015.
Jesus Christ Superstar (2016) won the Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival and Evening Standard Award for Best Musical, and returned to the Open Air Theatre for an extended engagement in 2017 ahead of a run at the Lyric Opera of Chicago in spring 2018. It then played a season at the Barbican Theatre in 2019, ahead of a North American Tour, and in the summer of 2020 it was reconceived as Jesus Christ Superstar: The Concert. This was the first West End production to re-open during the coronavirus pandemic.
In June 2023, it was announced[4] that Sheader would be leaving Regent's Park in March 2024 to take over as Artistic Director of the Donmar Warehouse.
