Freedom of movement on the stage (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

play

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'freedom of movement' is the first definition.
(as opposed to time spent in a classroom, say)

'the stage' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'on' is the link.

(Other definitions for play that I've seen before include "Portray in a drama" , "Perform music" , "Drama; engage in games" , "Recreation" , "Amuse oneself - drama" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
