Run-through
Also called run, stagger-through, line run
A run-through is a rehearsal of a whole show, or a large section of it, played straight through without pausing to fix things.
An early, rough one is sometimes called a stagger-through, and a line run is a quicker rehearsal of the words alone.
In use
We'll do a full run-through tomorrow afternoon.
