Barn doors. What makes stage lighting so particular is it's intensity and focus. There are parts of the stage in bright light and parts in deep shadows. The lighting is very directional - can lighting as in lights set deep into tin cans. The can acts as a snout (nose) on the light blocking light spill onto other areas. Theatrical lights often come with a lens on the front to focus the light and barn doors, small flat panels on the side which can be moved in and out of the light beam to control exactly where the light and shadows fall.
