yInwIj chaH tlhIngan Hol'e', DawI''e', *theatre*'e' je.

Put it on each one.  This is supposition; Okrand has never had nouns and
a conjunction on one side of a "to be"-acting pronoun.

I've never been thrilled about the use of /DawI'/ as "actor," though.
The meaning intersects with "actor" a little, but it doesn't equate with
that word.
