A theatrical wall is called a "flat". There are three primary types of flats. They are as follows:

Hollywood Flat - A flat where the framing is on edge, making it a wider and sturdier flat. Has a hard skin on it. Great for sturdy, fairly permanent walls - not advisable for flats that need to fly in or out.

Soft Broadway Flat - A flat where the framing is on face, making it a thinner, less sturdy flat. Has a fabric skin on it (usually muslin). Easily paintable and very light weight. Great for flats that fly in and out and do not need to hold weight.

Hard Broadway Flat - A flat where the framing is on face, but the skin is a thin plywood, rather than fabric. Still great for flats that fly in and out - can support a bit of weight if you need to dress it with props, etc.
