Hire themed performers
in Long Island City.
Themed performers (mobsters, period characters, sci-fi, fantasy) for murder mysteries, themed parties, and immersive activations.
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 Long Island City and the surrounding NY area with 100% W-2 talent, full insurance, and senior captains on every event. Long Island City (LIC) is Manhattan-adjacent waterfront Queens — one subway stop from Grand Central, operationally part of our Manhattan dispatch, and increasingly home to media-and-tech corporate campuses (JetBlue HQ, MoMA PS1, the Citigroup tower). The Hunter's Point South / Gantry State Park waterfront drives a heavy summer brand-activation calendar, and the LIC warehouse-format venues anchor a real experiential pop-up run. We staff brand ambassadors and lead-capture for Gantry Park activations, hospitality crews for MoMA PS1 Warm Up summer series and gallery events, demo teams for JetBlue HQ partner days, and warehouse-pop-up crews for LIC creative venues. Bilingual EN/ES with strong Mandarin coverage. All staff are 100% W-2.

Questions Long Island City buyers ask about themed performers.
What's a themed performer at a Showcraft Long Island City corporate event?+
Improv actors and character performers in custom costumes — 1920s speakeasy hosts, sci-fi crew members, period characters, fantasy figures, mobsters — for murder mysteries, themed corporate parties, immersive brand activations, and experiential builds in Long Island City. They run a brief while improvising guest interactions.
Can your Long Island City themed performers improvise in character?+
Yes — that's their job. Showcraft's themed performer roster in Long Island City is drawn from working improv and theater actors. They hold the world together while improvising guest interactions, which is what makes themed activations land instead of feel like staff in costume.
What kind of Long Island City corporate events use themed performers?+
Themed corporate parties, murder mysteries, immersive brand activations, themed product launches, holiday parties with a creative concept, and experiential builds in New York City. Themed performers also pair well with brand activation staff and game show formats for richer integrated events.

Yes. Every themed performer Showcraft deploys in Long Island City is a W-2 employee with workers' comp and general liability coverage. We issue COIs naming the venue and additional insureds. In California, the structure is fully AB-5 / AB-2257 compliant.
