The Turnspit Dogs (Special Event)

Fans of the Washington Revels will remember the haunting sound of the serpent, the iconic "star" of the 2010 Christmas Revels set in Thomas Hardy's West Country. The musical serpent is a wooden-bodied brass instrument carried by marching bands in the 18th & 19th centuries. The Turnspit Dogs of Tidewater Virginia play Colonial-era music on Colonial-era instruments, including an antique serpent. $20; $10 FSGW members and Revels cast/crew.
