Summary

Mindy, Guy Raz, and the gang attend an acting class at the local community theatre with Madame Pompous. Guy Raz is nervous, but Mindy convinces him to give it a try. Things take a turn for the weird when Madame Pompous announces that they’ll be learning how to “play dead” inspired by the Dice Snake, a reptile that dramatically fakes its own death to avoid predators. Can Mindy, Guy, and the gang pull off a performance of one of the strangest and most fascinating behaviors in the animal kingdom? It’s the Who, What, When, How, and Wow in the World of playing dead!
