Source Language Term	school theatre or freshman theatre Brit. pej.
Correct?	Schülertheater - Native speakers - Help! pej.
Examples/ definitions with source references	Ich mach doch hier kein Schülertheater!
Comment	"Schülertheater" in this context is clearly meant in a condescending/pej. way, meaning it lacks quality. I'm unsure wether school theatre or freshman theatre has the same connotation, though. Help from native speakers is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Lilly

Context/ examples		related discussion: Schülertheater
Comment		Believe it or not, both theatres have the same reputation: reputable. How you say it continues to be the decisive factor for how it will be received.

Comment		school play that's what I would say (AE) This isn't some kind of school play! ps - I've never heard of freshman theatre (freshman is someone in the first year of high school/college/university). Is it a play put on by freshmen?

Comment		Werner, I think it does if you are actually referring to a play at a higher level - or you can add "amateur" as per Helmi's suggestion - although I don't think it's absolutely necesssary. Like with so many things: der Ton macht die Musik.

Comment		Thanks, you to. That sets lilly333 back to square one, and she can refer to my statement already made yesterday.

Comment		Thank you all for your quick help!! I guess I stick with school play Since it's a written text I obviously don't have any options regarding "Der Ton macht die Musik"...
