Crossword Genius

Drama magazine; School Break (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

playtime

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

'school break' is the definition.
'playtime' can be an answer for 'break' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'school' bit.

'drama magazine' is the wordplay.
'drama' becomes 'play' (synonyms).
'magazine' becomes 'time' (US magazine).
'play'+'time'='PLAYTIME'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for playtime that I've seen before include "Schoolchildren's break" , "between lessons" , "Break in school day" , "Curtain up" , "Period for pleasure" .)
