ROOTS The Organization was created/founded in 2001 by Adrian J. Gutierrez with a mission of forming a coalition of children and adult actors, and create a developmental exchange of talent in which they can explore and improve their artistic minds. For the past fourteen years Mr. Gutierrez has served as an active thespian and arts advocate educating our society on the importance of the arts in our lives. He developed and initiated this organization with the purpose of opening the doors to talented individuals that have the need of expanding and growing within their craft.
