What specific questions do you have and feel that we have not yet answered?

As the Co-Producer, I feel we have done our absolute best to answer as many questions as possible, but it seems as if some still are not satisfied, which is understandable since it is not possible to please everyone.

We try our best to promptly respond to every email that we receive, so please remember that if you have specific questions or comments regarding anything to do with LRS, emailing us will be your best bet. Since this forum is not affiliated with Rising Stars!, we are not contacted when someone leaves a post. So again, I encourage you to email us at edgestarmedia@mac.com.

We are sorry if you feel a $15.00 ticket fee is high, but please try and understand that our expenses are substantially higher than last year. Also, keep in mind that this is a very conservative town and to produce a show with these expenses is unheard of for our area.

We are not out to "rob" anyone, as has been asserted on this forum, rather than produce a quality show with high entertainment, and I feel very strongly we are doing a great job. This is a great asset to the Capitol Civic Centre and for Manitowoc County and it would be a shame to see us move to a different city for the sake of other lakeshore residents/fans and business owners. As for the producers "raking in the cash," at the end of the production when we receive our compensation it is in fact near minimum wage for the time we put in.

The response we have received from fans of the production has been overwhelmingly positive. The few valid criticisms and suggestions that we have received we take very seriously and intend to review them again for the possibility of Season Three.

I also hope that people understand why I hesitate to respond to anonymous criticisms, on a blind forum, as opposed to direct valid critiques and suggestions (either in person or via email) with people who are willing to identify themselves. Again, I encourage you to email us at edgestarmedia@mac.com.

If you do not enjoy Rising Stars!, simply do not come. If you do however enjoy Rising Stars!, please keep coming.

Sincerely,
Terry Stevenson
