Hire costumed characters
in Katy.
Trained character performers in screen-accurate costumes for retail openings, family days, brand activations, and corporate events with kid-facing components.
Houston corporate character work runs heaviest during Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo season (sponsor activations across NRG Park want branded mascots and themed performers to hold a Rodeo-scale crowd), Galleria retail launches that want a custom mascot to anchor the opening, and themed performers (period, sci-fi, western) for corporate murder mysteries and immersive employer-brand events. Our Houston character pool is bilingual EN/ES heavy and trained for outdoor summer-heat operational realities — captain-run hydration cycles, costume cooling protocols, and rotation schedules. Brand marketing teams at energy and CPG companies are our anchor buyer. All staff are 100% W-2.
Katy is the fastest-growing master-planned suburb on Houston's west side — Katy Mills, LaCenterra at Cinco Ranch, and the Typhoon Texas waterpark anchor a real family-and-retail event calendar, and the Katy ISD corridor is a major school-and-community brand market. We staff brand ambassadors and demo crews for Katy Mills and LaCenterra retail activations, family-day production at Typhoon Texas and Mary Jo Peckham Park, sampling teams for community events along the Grand Parkway / I-10 corridor, and registration crews for west Houston corporate offsites. Roster is bilingual EN/ES with strong family-friendly talent and character work available. All staff are 100% W-2.

Questions Katy buyers ask about costumed characters.
What kind of corporate events use costumed characters in Katy?+
Retail grand openings, brand activations with family-day components, trade show booth attractors, sports promotions, company family days, and corporate holiday parties in Houston. Costumed characters pull foot traffic, anchor photo moments, and add a memorable layer to brand-led events in Katy.
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 Katy. 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 Katy character performers trained?+
Yes — every Showcraft character performer in Katy 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 Katy character performers W-2 and insured?+
Yes. Every character performer Showcraft deploys in Katy 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.
