For our last stop on the Fringe Festival venue tour, newly-shaven producing artistic director Scot McKenzie tells us about Apothecary, a former pharmacy and retail store devastated by fire in D.C.’s Civil Rights-era riots.

No wonder those pious clerics up and declared the western objectification of women and glorification of dick jokes as deserving of–dare I say it?–jihad. Zed Headscarf, infidel-licking lesbian though she be, really could change all that.
