Off the top of my head, didn't they use {reHwI'} for a "player" (i.e. actor)?

As a model, we have {chenmoHlu'meH Daq} "construction site" from the BoP
poster, so if they were musicians, you could call it a {muchmeH Daq} "place
for performing (music)". If dancers, a {mI'meH Daq} "place for dancing" -
though this could just as well mean "gymnasium"! On the List we sometimes
use {Da} "behave as, act in the manner of" for "act" and {DawI'} for
"actor, actress", so I suppose you could call it a {DameH Daq} or {reHmeH
Daq} in a pinch.
