    Dedicated to the Revolutions, a theatre show by Small Wooden Shoe at Buddies in Bad Times, March/April 2009. A show about the scientific revolutions that changed the world and their effect on our lives and how we think. These guys showed up a couple of years ago at MaRS to present "I Keep Dropping Sh*t" as part of the Toronto Fringe Festival -- this one about Newton's Gravity revolution. It was a riot and a real collaboration between science and art. The format is truly innovative. Definitely a good fit for MaRS.
