Hire costumed characters
in El Segundo.

Trained character performers in screen-accurate costumes for retail openings, family days, brand activations, and corporate events with kid-facing components.

Corporate character work in LA splits across three lanes — branded mascots at retail openings on Rodeo Drive and the Grove, costumed characters at brand family days for studio and agency clients, and themed performers (period actors, sci-fi, noir) for murder mysteries and immersive corporate experiences across DTLA and Hollywood. Showcraft's LA character roster overlaps with our working-actor pool: SAG-AFTRA performers comfortable in costume, on camera, and in front of executive audiences. Brand marketing teams at studios, CPG companies, and Westside tech book us for activations where a mascot or themed performer needs to actually perform — not just stand there. 100% W-2, AB-5 and AB-2257 compliant.

El Segundo runs LA's quietest, busiest B2B event calendar. The aerospace and tech corridor here — SpaceX, Boeing, Raytheon, plus a wave of tech HQs along Rosecrans and Sepulveda — generates a constant stream of investor days, internal conferences, partner showcases, and product unveilings. We staff conferences, registration teams, badge runners, hosts, and trade-show crews briefed for technical B2B audiences. Crews comfortable with engineering and aerospace decision-makers, credentialing protocols, and the South Bay's particular operational rhythm. All staff are 100% W-2 and AB-5 compliant.
