Bring up some light for the audience? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

raise

'bring up' is the definition.
(raising is a kind of bringing up)

'some light for the audience?' is the wordplay.
'some light' becomes 'rays' (I've seen this before).
'for the audience?' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue (I've seen 'for the audience' mean this).
'rays' sounds like 'RAISE'.

(Other definitions for raise that I've seen before include "Cultivate by growing" , "Put up" , "Lift - increase" , "More money from America" , "Care for during childhood" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
