ماجستير في الفنون المسرحية / إخراج
Master of Arts, Master of Science, or "Master's Degree" in Theater (or Theatre) Arts, Directing


Explanation:
The Arabic text you cited uses the word ماجسـتير. In English, that could mean either Master of Arts or Master of Science. In theater arts, both kinds are offered by universities, in some cases by the same university. For example, look at the Theater Arts page on the website of Portland State University:

http://www.theaterarts.pdx.edu/academics_graduate.php

You will see that this university offers both degree programs. If you are not sure, you can use the generic expression "Master's Degree." This is commonly used as well, as in this page on the University of Oregon website:

http://comm.uoregon.edu/newsreleases/latest/may98/P050698_2....

The theater field is known by many names, but since the Arabic degree name uses الفنون المسرحية, you'd better stick to "Theater Arts" (or "Theatre Arts" if the translation is for New Zealand).

agree  AhmedAMS: Is that the only field which could have either Master of Arts or Master of Science?

  -> Many artistic fields that rely on a good dose of "science" can be treated from either end. Architecture, interior design, photography, and cinematography come to mind. There are also other fields that are not related to the arts, like education.
