read-throughs
Script rehearsal sessions
Read-throughs are complete start-to-finish readings of a script, manuscript, or other text.
In theater and film, a read-through is an early rehearsal where the cast sits together and reads the entire script aloud: The first read-through revealed some pacing problems in act two.
Writers also do read-throughs of their own work to catch errors or assess flow.
