LIVE performance of the award-winning Runaway Princess, followed by a live panel of human trafficking experts
LIVE PERFORMANCE
“Once upon a time, there was a Princess born to a King and Queen who were banished from their island, forced to flee to America in a coffin ship.” Thus, begins the tale of the Runaway Princess, a true story laced with dark humor and pathos recounting Mary Goggin’s escape from her harsh Bronx Irish Catholic upbringing into the arms of a pimp, prostitution and years of substance abuse. Her ultimate redemption is a triumph.
