Stage Directions is incredibly vague. How fast does the specter move, can the Survivors see the specter, how far does it lunge, is there a cooldown, how many specters can exist at once?
Dressing Room is much better, though. It's simple, concise, and seems to be pretty good. I like this one.
I did go through the add-ons at first, but I accidentally clicked a button on my mouse that sent me back to a previous page, deleting everything I wrote. I can't be bothered to rewrite everything.
Now onto the perks. Oh lord...
Stage Hands is overpowered as hell. It removes 4 defenses the Survivors have every time a generator is completed. The way it's worded makes it sound like the pallets dropped by the perk can be destroyed instantly by the same perk, for free. Imagine you're chasing a Survivor and they go to shack. They don't plan on dropping the pallet because they're at 5 gens, if this Survivor goes down it's no biggie 2 gens are about to pop. Then the gen pops and Stage Hands activates, dropping the pallet infront of the Survivor blocking their path when they had no way to prepare for it. Then the second they get hit the pallet breaks. Imagine how bullshit that would feel for that Survivor. Even if the second effect cannot effect pallets dropped by the first, this is such a stupid perk.
Hex: Stage Lights is, yes, a hex perk. I'm aware how they work. That doesn't mean a Hex perk should be made to invalidate skill of all players in the game it's used in. Removing the red stain is stupid overpowered, and also makes most Killer skills completely pointless to know because they involve manipulating the red stain and making the Survivor think they're going a way that they're not. Survivors also have their skill entirely invalidated by being able to read these mind games, now that mind games are useless.
Surprise Encounters is the most annoying perk concept I have ever seen, and I played this game before the Hex: Ruin rework where it worked perfectly with Pop Goes The Weasel. Just getting free grabs when a Survivor is probably over 10 meters away from you, 20 if they have Lithe? What the hell? The secondary effect is useless unless the Killer is camping, in which case it's overpowered as all hell. Bad perk all around imo.
Pyrotechnics does nothing. This is a worthless perk, it's just made to annoy the Killer.
Explosive Results seems fine, but what kind of stun do you mean? All stuns or just ones with the fire cracker?
I don't think I need to explain why Light Show is ######### busted. It's Deliverance but the timing of you unhooking yourself doesn't matter, and it doesn't require you to do something to activate it. This is a scummy perk and it makes an already very good perk look like Sole Survivor.
The power, if fleshed out more, is great, but if you can't tell I really don't think the perks have the same amount of quality.
Edit: Thinking it over, if a Survivor doesn't drop a single pallet the entire game, Stage Hands (on some maps) might just destroy every pallet on the map. That's not okay.

Stage Directions has been clarified with added text to set limits to the power.
Stage Hands has been reworked to only effect dropped pallets and breakable walls and has lost the ability to drop pallets.
Hex: Stage Lights has been completely reworked to be somewhat of a gateway defending the other totems.
Surprise Encounters has been reworked to only effect canceled actions like getting off a generator before its completed and will only work if the survivor is hit.
Pyrotechnics now will alert everyone to the killers location.
The power and concept of Light Show has been completely replaced to be an between a better pallet stun with added effects with a cooldown
