    Description

    Up for auction/sale is a fairly rare vintage Tiffany’s Attic Dinner Theatre mug from Kansas City. I can’t date the glass exactly, but I’d guess it’s from the early 1970’s when the Theatre opened, to the later 1970’s.
    Try as I might, after many search combinations with Bing and Google, I was unable to locate any other mugs with this design which makes me think it pre-dates common internet postings.
    This mug is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or damage of any sort, and only minimal wear to the graphics. (See high-resolution photos)
    The glass measures roughly 5 ½” tall, has a 2 7/8” rim, is 4 ½” at the handle, has a 2 3/8” lightly weighted base, and holds 14oz to the rim.
    I have described this mug as best I can, but to augment my description I have provided many high-resolution photos of the mug from varying angles to allow for a detailed review of quality, condition, and desirability.
    This will be packaged with great care to best ensure this vintage mug arrives as pictured and described.
    If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
    An excerpt from a “KC Studio” interview with Dennis Hennesy. co-founder of Tiffany's Attic:
    From an early age I’ve been fascinated with live actors on stage telling a story – I suppose it’s the intimacy with the characters and that it’s all happening at the moment that has kept me involved for more than 40 years. I participated in high school and college theatre and spent several years with the rep company here – doing everything from assistant directing to catering opening night receptions – it was the best way to learn the many facets of the theatre. It was during that time that I knew I wanted to be a theatre producer and to produce on a professional level.
    While working on my master’s degree at UMKC, I was hired as the producing director of the Resident Theater where I eventually hired Richard Carrothers to direct part of the season. After 4 years producing & directing for Resident, Richard and I raised 5,000 and opened our first theatre, Tiffany’s Attic in 1972 and a year later Waldo Astoria opened in the south part of the city. Both theatres were closed in 1992 and New Theatre Restaurant in Overland Park opened. The Theatre was recently renovated adding state of the art lighting and sound systems along with 3 million pixels of light in the ceiling. The theatre is an artistic success both locally and nationally and has become the place to go when in Kansas City.
