An Early Gig for Dale Chihuly

Posted by James on September 24th, 2008

The Blue Mouse Theater, located over on Proctor Street in Tacoma, has a unique claim to fame. Back in the day, world famous glass artist Dale Chihuly created the glass tubing for the blue neon mice that “run” around the perimeter of the theater. Cool stuff. Before it was the Blue Mouse, the theater was called the Bijou and before that? Oddly enough, it was, simply, the Proctor.

    Just so I understand, did he bend the neon to make the sign and process it or just pull the tube and then gave it to a sign maker to make?
