Crossword Genius

Presented on boards! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

staged

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

'presented' is the definition.
('stage' can be a synonym of 'present')

'boards' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'boards' could be 'stage' (I've seen this before) and 'stage' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'd' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'on' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for staged that I've seen before include "Put on (as show)" , "Get ads (anag) - performed" , "Put on play or other performance" , "Put on as theatre would" , "Mounted (a play)" .)
