My Guggenheim Play

My Guggenheim Play is about perseverance and uncovering wrongdoing. It’s about corporate corruption, an especially pernicious brand because it masquerades as a nonprofit and panders in progressive sloganeering. It's the true story of an unreported embezzling scheme at The Guggenheim in 2013.
