Our History

Rising Star Talent Productions became a reality in the summer of 1985. As the parents of young competitors, five people came together to produce a talent competition that would treat teachers, contestants and parents in a way that would instill pride and confidence in young minds. In the fall of 1986, the first competition was held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The current director, Chrissy Danflous, has been with the company since its inception.

Rising Star Talent Productions prides itself on the manner in which all aspects of the company are handled. It is the personal attention to each individual that creates the “family” concept. Rising Star staff members are assigned to areas in which they become the expert of that area as well as being able to assist any participant that needs help.
