I believe the answer is:

rehearse

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'prepare' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

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

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