Definition
演剧 is a verb-object separable verb (离合词) meaning to perform or stage a play. The two syllables can split to insert aspect markers, measure words, or complements: e.g., 演了一出好剧 ('staged a good play'). The noun 剧 alone means 'play' or 'drama', so word order matters — you cannot attach an object directly after 演剧; instead, say 演一部剧 or 演出话剧.
v.o.
to put on or perform a play
