The day before Mary spoke at CAMP Rehoboth Women’s Fest 2024, accompanied by her director Dan Ruth and, of course, Joey.

Several days after the show, Mary was the keynote speaker at the May 1, 2024, banquet celebrating the 127 Year Anniversary of the GFWC DELAWARE STATE FEDERATION OF  WOMEN’S CLUBS at the Atlantic Sands Hotel and Conference Center in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. The focus: Domestic Violence. Trish Rodriguez, GFWC President, asked me.

“Mary Goggin gave a riveting presentation at the GFWC Delaware State Convention. We have never heard such a personal accounting of abuse, addiction, and recovery. Mary gives us hope for a brighter tomorrow. Again, Mary, thanks for coming to Delaware!”
Jan Conant, President
GFWC Delaware

This very exciting news was shared by Jacqueline Sterbach, President and Founder of “What Is Your Voice?” (and fellow woman warrior!), whose connection with Trish resulted in this wonderful invite!

And the origin is this story in the Cape Gazette.

“Great performance today by Miss Mary Pat Goggin. Educational, emotional, hysterical, and ultimately the truth about addiction and recovery. Tears and laughter in a full house. ”
~ Maureen Higgins

“Her face lights up the stage and her characterizations paint for you quite cinematically the elements of this incredible but true story….

…One moment being hysterically funny, the next breaking your heart!”
~ Fran Sisco

Runaway Princess Windham State Penitentiary

Ms. Goggin,
I want to say that on Friday June 2nd when you were in the Southern Maine Women’s Re-entry Center here in Windham and you passed out the flyers to your performance I felt the realness that was about to take place. When you began I was not sure where you were going with the it, but then when you got into the deep dark part of your life in addiction and everything else it made me know that no matter who you are it can happen to anyone. I now know that I am definitely not alone in this journey. I really connected with you and your performance. I cannot wait to see it with all the bells and whistles…. Again thank you for going out of your way for us women, we needed that.

It’s Getting Hot, Hot, Hot…

Sunday (5/21/23) show Annie Lanzillotto. Saturday (5/20/23) show John McDonagh. (Was also on the air with John and Malachy McCourt on WBAI radio Sunday morning.) I am filled with love and fun and ideas and sparks and joy. Thank you both for seeing Runaway Princess this weekend.

Thank you to my friends that showed up as the show heats up. Most of all thanks Elliott Glick and Monica Glick, the family and staff of The Artist (Starving Artist) on City Island. So filled… so wiped out.
