Practice before a performance (8)

I believe the answer is:

rehearse

(Other definitions for rehearse that I've seen before include "What actor does to prepare for play" , "Practise like actor" , "Practice for the performance" , "Practise - run through" , "Cast practise for play" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
