Full Synopsis

When the Cookie Crumbles, You Can Still Pick up the Pieces begins with a group of people coming to terms with the fact that talking about divorce can be painful, but will help in the end. We are then led through a series of skits that concern children who are dealing with the different effects of divorce on their lives. The skits are varied and are all quite relatable. Some are short, such as a series of monologues about a boy whose school lunches are taking a turn for the worst after his parents divorce, or a song where a young boy is being told about his parent's split. There is a skit about a girl meeting – and liking – her dad's new wife, as well as kids trying to get along with their new step-brothers and -sisters... and succeeding. We also follow a young boy whose mom moves him to a new school, and how he deals with meeting new people and making friends. There is even a skit with the children of various fairytale characters, dealing with life when it isn't as perfect as a fairytale. In the end, the group all decides that talking about divorce wasn't so bad, and that the most important thing to help you through it... is love.
