A lightweight scenic unit consisting of a wooden or metal frame covered with canvas, muslin, or thin plywood, used to create walls and surfaces on stage. Flats are a fundamental building block of theatrical scenery—they're quick to build, easy to paint, and can be combined to create rooms, corridors, and architectural features. "Hard flats" use rigid covering; "soft flats" use stretched fabric.
