NOTE: In 1986 Darinka regular & member Ellie Covan asked Gary Ray Bugarcic to come by her little apartment, one block away, to get his feedback on her initial idea of starting Dixon Place there. Upon seeing the tiny space that was to become the original Dixon Place, Gary Ray said "No Way… Too small!" Well now that Dixon has just celebrated their 25th year in existence in their critically acclaimed new theater, Gary Ray is thrilled to be working at DP in this dark farcical comedy called THE EGG PROgECT.
