Performing beforehand (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rehearsing

(Other definitions for rehearsing that I've seen before include "Preparing for a play" , "Getting ready for the big night" , "Trying out" , "getting ready for a show?" , "Practising (a play)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
