rehearsal room
Where actors prepare
A rehearsal room is a space where performers practice before a performance.
Theater companies, dance troupes, bands, and orchestras use rehearsal rooms to work through material without the pressures or costs of the main stage or studio.
The term often implies a stripped-down space—mirrors for dancers, a piano for singers, folding chairs for actors: We ran the scene twice in the rehearsal room before moving to the theater.
