"Runaway Princess", a hopeful tale of heroin, hooking and happiness"WHAT IS Runaway Princess?
“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... in which Mary Goggin shares a true story, laced with wicked humor and much pathos, of her Bronx Irish Catholic upbringing, drug addiction and prostitution, and the multitude of characters she encountered along the way to ultimately finding joy.

My Mission is to use theater to change perceptions and therefore lives.. I share my secrets, which gives others permission to share theirs, uncovering the root cause, the reasons survivors are vulnerable to being trafficked, addicted, and abused. My show provides hope and inspires; de-stigmatizing survivors of trafficking, addicts, alcoholics, battered women. It is a riveting journey to humanity.
