HWS Theatre is thrilled to welcome back alum artist-scholar Nicolas Shannon Savard ‘15, ‘16 MAT for a free, one-night-only performance of their solo show, Five and a Half Feet of Fearsome on Tuesday November 4 at 7:30 in McDonald Theatre in the Gearan Center for the Performing Arts.
Part storytelling, part recruitment meeting, part puppet show, all heart and biting wit, Five and a Half Feet of Fearsome is a comedic takedown of anti-LGBTQ politics in 2025. Nicolas Shannon Savard (they/them) is a queer-trans multidisciplinary artist-scholar, educator, and the host of Gender Euphoria, the Podcast, a series produced for HowlRound Theatre Commons.

CONTENT WARNING: Themes of anti-LGBTQ violence and discrimination, themes of sexual harassment, audience interaction.

From their recent performance at the BorderLight Theatre Festival in Cleveland, OH:
“Nicolas Shannon Savard hilariously unpacks the so-called ‘trans agenda’ in this bold solo show featuring satire, puppets, and Judy Blume. Come for the comedy, stay for the truth behind the headlines.”

Five and a Half Feet of Fearsome is sponsored by HWS Theatre, with additional support from the Office of Academic and Faculty Affairs and Alumni Alumnae Relations. The performance will be Tuesday November 4 at 7:30 in McDonald Theatre in the Gearan Center for the Performing Arts. Admission is free, on a first-come, first-serve basis. Latecomers will not be seated. The performance lasts approximately one hour. For more information, contact Professor Chris Woodworth, Theatre Department Chair (cwoodworth@hws.edu).
