stagecraft

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

'acting talent' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to thinking as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'of bachelor on electronic boat' is the wordplay.
'of bachelor' becomes 'stag' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'electronic' becomes 'e' (as in e-mail or e-books).
'boat' becomes 'craft' (boat is a type of craft).
'stag'+'e'+'craft'='STAGECRAFT'
