Default Which way does your T&G run?

In viewing jongaduet's pictures in this post: http://www.controlbooth.com/forums/f...tml#post134251, I realized that I don't think I've ever seen a proscenium stage where the decking runs US-DS.

I Jave seen houses where the mainstage flooring run across the stage, L -R, and the Apron flooring runs US-DS. However I once saw a house where just the opposite was true.

The HS has concrete and black linoleum tile (yes they hurt when you fall).

The Black-Box theatre has large sheets of masoniteover top on 3/4" ply.

I think we are plywood and meso. I don't think we have T&G, but I'm not sure.

I'm happy to be completely oblivious to how the big platformy thing works. Just make one that will absorb my light and not bounce it back. Thanks.

As a practical joke against a rival company, we came in one night and ran their marley floor US/DS, does that count?

We're not a proscenium house, but our (seldom-seen) T&G runs US-DS. I've only seen the 6ml MDF skin which is normally over it taken up once and it's a beautiful floor!

Ours runs US to DS, but I'm not certain it's the original, although it's certainly old. Unfortunately, the floor has been painted over many many times. Plus we made it rain on stage last year for Night of the Iguana.
