 After graduating, Roy worked initially as a producer of radio plays, before being approached to direct for [[CAPAB]]. He subsequently went on to work as a freelance theatre director, directing a large number of plays for varous amateur and professional companies, including the various Performing Arts Councils.
-In 1969 and 1970, [[Guy Butler]] invited young Roy to direct two highly successful productions with the students of the [[Rhodes University Drama Department]] - ''[[Cape Charade or Kaatje Kekkelbek]]'' and ''[[Richard Gush of Salem]]''. After a further six months as a leave replacement, thirty-one-year-old Roy was appointed the first Head of the Drama Department in 1973, and later Professor. Sargeant turned the department into one of the premier schools for training in the country. As head of the department he also played a major role in the establishment of the [[Grahamstown Festival]] and served on its planning committee for many years. The [[Student Drama Festival]], the establishment of the [[Standard Bank Young Artist Awards]] and the [[Winter School]] were his brain children.
