Somewhere on campus, does drag for audience (5)
I believe the answer is:
halls
'somewhere on campus does drag for audience' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'on campus does drag for audience' is the wordplay.
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'campus does' becomes 's' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'drag' becomes 'haul' (synonyms).
'for audience' shows a homophone (sound like) (how it might sound to an audience).
'haul' is a homophone of 'hall'.
's' put after 'hall' is 'HALLS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for halls that I've seen before include "Lobbies" , "'I dreamt I dwelt in marble . . . . .' (song)" , "Entrance passages" , "''I dreamt I dwelt in marble ...'' (The Bohemian Girl)" .)
