Mystic Seaport will offer its first dinner theater program August 29-31 featuring The Long Voyage Home, a one-act play by Eugene O’Neill.

Dinner starts at 6 p.m. and will be served outside of Schaefer’s Spouter Tavern which overlooks the Mystic River and the Charles W. Morgan. Prepared by Seamen’s Inne, the three-course meal features a choice of salad or New England clam chowder, grilled chicken with summer vegetables or poached salmon with chilled asparagus and either cheesecake with a summer fruit mélange or an apple tart with caramel sauce.

The Mystic Seaport TaleMakers will begin their performance of O’Neill’s one-act play on the tavern’s porch at 7 p.m. The semi-autobiographical tale tells the story of a group of sailors who have returned from a long voyage at sea and the troubles they encounter at a London pub. The play includes some adult content and parental discretion is advised.
