Wednesday-Sunday, Aug. 8-30, Legacy Ridge Golf Course, 10801 Legacy Ridge Parkway, Westminster, thecatamounts.org/tickets.

The Catamounts will launch its 10th season with In The Rough, an immersive comic romp exploring wildness and tameness, privilege and access, and the journey of the old ball and stick from the socially distanced safety of a golf cart. Eight carts a night will travel through legends, stories and the front nine holes of Westminster’s public Legacy Ridge golf course in a summer evening of theater designed for our six-feet-apart times. Tickets are on sale now. For more information about safety protocols, or how to subscribe to The Cats’ entire 10th season, visit thecatamounts.org.

‘THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE’ — presented by The Spark.

8 p.m. Thursday- Sunday, Aug. 6-9, thesparkcreates.org.

Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, ‘The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee’ has charmed audiences across the country with its effortless wit and humor. Featuring a funny and touching script and a vibrant score, this bee is one unforgettable experience. An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves. The Spark will be offering an outdoor performance with limited seating. Tickets are on sale now.
