Hire costumed characters
in Bronx.
Trained character performers in screen-accurate costumes for retail openings, family days, brand activations, and corporate events with kid-facing components.
NYC corporate character work runs heaviest at Fifth Avenue and Soho retail flagship openings (custom branded mascots and themed performers to anchor the opening crowd), employer-brand family days produced by Manhattan financial and media corporates, and themed performers (period, prohibition-era, noir, sci-fi) for corporate murder mysteries and immersive offsite events at private Tribeca and Meatpacking venues. We staff custom mascots for Javits booth activations, themed performers for Fashion Week brand parties, and IP-safe costumed characters for Citi Field, Yankee Stadium, and Barclays Center family-day brand activations. Most of our NYC character pool is working actors — comfortable on camera and in front of executive audiences. All staff are 100% W-2.
Showcraft serves Bronx and the surrounding NY area with 100% W-2 talent, full insurance, and senior captains on every event. The Bronx is NYC's northernmost borough and home to Yankee Stadium — the year-round Yankees brand and sponsor calendar drives the bulk of our Bronx event volume, plus the Bronx Zoo, the New York Botanical Garden, and Arthur Avenue's Little Italy anchor a real family-event and community-brand market. We staff brand ambassadors and lead-capture for Yankee Stadium sponsor activations, family-day production at the Bronx Zoo and Botanical Garden, sampling teams along Arthur Avenue, and bilingual EN/ES community-event crews for Bronx neighborhoods. Roster runs heavily bilingual EN/ES — the Bronx has one of NYC's largest Latino-majority populations — with strong Albanian, Italian, and Bengali coverage. All staff are 100% W-2.

Questions Bronx buyers ask about costumed characters.
What kind of corporate events use costumed characters in Bronx?+
Retail grand openings, brand activations with family-day components, trade show booth attractors, sports promotions, company family days, and corporate holiday parties in New York City. Costumed characters pull foot traffic, anchor photo moments, and add a memorable layer to brand-led events in Bronx.
What's the difference between a Showcraft character and a Characters.io character?+
Same talent roster, different lane. Showcraft handles the corporate side — brand activations, retail openings, trade show floors, and corporate family days in Bronx. Characters.io handles consumer and private events. The performers are W-2 employees of the same parent company, with the same vetting and training standards.
Are your Bronx character performers trained?+
Yes — every Showcraft character performer in Bronx is a working actor with character-performance training (movement, in-character voice work, photo-pose discipline, guest interaction). They're not random people in costume; they're vetted performers backed by Characters.io's 18-year track record.
Are your Bronx character performers W-2 and insured?+
Yes. Every character performer Showcraft deploys in Bronx is a W-2 employee with workers' comp and general liability coverage. We issue COIs naming the venue and additional insureds. In California, the payroll structure is fully AB-5 / AB-2257 compliant.
