Crossword Genius

Transport once for drama instructor (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stagecoach

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

'transport' is the definition.
(stagecoach is a kind of transport)

'for drama instructor' is the wordplay.
'for drama' becomes 'stage' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'instructor' becomes 'coach' (coach is a kind of instructor).
'stage'+'coach'='STAGECOACH'

'once' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stagecoach that I've seen before include "Diligence" , "One gets around stops" , "Travelling" , "Great Western" , "Horse-drawn carriage" .)
