Runaway Princess: A Hopeful Tale Of Heroin, Hooking and Happiness is a true story, laced with wicked humor and much pathos, of Mary Goggin's Irish Catholic upbringing, drug addiction and prostitution, and the multitude of characters she encountered along the way to ultimately finding joy.

Mary Goggin is a New York based actor born to Irish Emigrants and raised in the Bronx. Mary attended high in Ireland and is recovering nicely from sexual repression. In 1992 Mary discovered that she is an actor and has since performed in Broadway, Off-Broadway and regional theaters, on television (The Grind on Netflix, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Guiding Light, among many others) and film. Her solo show has earned multiple awards and been performed internationally. www.marygoggin.com
