‘Runaway Princess’ spotlights trafficking and addiction crisis, Cape Gazette

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

Rochester Fringe 2023: So Good Reviewer Shows Up Twice!

Here’s the review from Jeff Spevak for opening night September 18. Jeff was spotted again September 22, at the final sold-out show. I guess he really liked it.

My rescue morkie, Joey, made this Fringe joyful. And Joey, as “the medium,” was brilliant as the “hound from hell” in the hilariously funny “The Vole Sisters Invite You To a Peculiar & Intimate Evening of Mystic Spiritualism.”

Rochester Fringe Press

Broadway World: ‘An important show.’

RocCityMag: ‘true, award-winning story.’

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.
