Before attending the show, the Mainline Theater warns its audience that the spelling bee show can contain nudity. Strip Spelling Bee is played exactly like strip poker, when you spell a word right you sit down, but if you spell a word wrong be prepared to take something off. On top of that, you play in front of a live audience who will hoot, holler, and heckle. No booing and no pictures are allowed! It is also the Kittens edition, which means that anyone who comes in costume can sway the judges.
