I'd probably stick with the DVD player, but located backstage, and a video switcher and monitor back there.
The real attractive solution is Renewed Vision's ProVideoPlayer, but it's a $700 program. Really spiffy, but still $700, aimed at the church production market.
Alternatively, I believe (and I've been meaning to test this lately but never have) VLC under Linux can do exactly what you want, for free. I've never tried to see what it does under MacOS; I guess I could do a quick try.
Is this at TA? If you guys are in rehearsal tonight, I'd be happy to swing by.

Nah, this is at Scott Theater. The show I'm doing for TA is actually going to be at Nolan high school. Its their musical. I haven't seen the space yet, but I've been told by multiple people that its a "challenge."
I'd prefer to do it with
Qlab, so that I can trigger it as part of my show file, but VLC might be an option. I have it for Mac, but I can't tell how to get it to do that. Let me know if you find out.
