I believe the answer is:

stage

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

'put on' is the definition.
(to put on a show is to present or stage it)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for stage that I've seen before include "Mount (a play)" , "Gates (anag.)" , "Elevated platform" , "Put on (a performance)" , "Section (of journey)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
