Gets a new place to act (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stage

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

'to act' is the definition.
(stage is a kind of act)

'gets a new' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'gets'+'a'='getsa'
'getsa' anagrammed gives 'STAGE'.

'place' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stage that I've seen before include "Mount (a play)" , "Leg; part of theatre" , "division" , "Elevated platform" , "Phase - platform" .)
