If it's behind the stage, could it maybe have been some sort of lighting patch panel?

Agh, my post didn't go through, I meant to say it was in or near the "grooming room", this could have been a wall where large vanity lights were in those sockets, and a mirror beneath.

I think Motts is right about the mirrors -- you can see the bracket that held the tops of a mirror just below each of the upper light fixtures, and especially on the middle one you can see the outline of where the mirror used to be.

The patients were taken to this wall, which had large mirrors below the lights, and here they could look at themselves (or forced to look at themseles) while a nurse would point out features on their bodies that needed attending to. Such as their hair or their clothes.

Having turned into some kind of female hobbit as I hit the midlife mark I would be horrified at the thought of being forced to look into a mirror whilst being told what needed tending to, I like denial and it likes me.
