                    Maggie is a young employee in a bookstore coping with the stresses of her mundane life. During a dream, millennial self-help guru Trish Carrison talks to Maggie about tapping into her innermost thoughts. In the end, Maggie realizes that the answer to what she was seeking was within herself all along.

                    Solo storytelling is difficult to pull off well for many veterans of the stage. Although not brilliant technically, Self Help Shelf is a great start to writing and directing a play for this young playwright. Appropriate for most over the age of 16, Millennials will love this play and other generations will see similarities to their own youthful angst.
