The vision of the company was initiated out of his interest to serve families, communities, entities existing in socio-economic, underserved settings similar to the one in which he was raised. Gifted in the performing arts, Bolton saw it fit to combine passion with desire, meaning; he sought to execute humanitarian/missionary causes, using the arts he loves as a vehicle to make a difference.
