Hire costumed characters
in Marina del Rey.

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.

Showcraft serves Marina del Rey and the surrounding CA area with 100% W-2 talent, full insurance, and senior captains on every event. Marina del Rey is LA's yacht-and-waterfront event capital. Charter yachts, the Ritz-Carlton Marina del Rey, Burton Chace Park, and the broader Marina harbor host a year-round calendar of corporate dinners, foundation galas, waterfront brand activations, and dockside hospitality. We staff yacht-charter crews, dockside greeters, and waterfront event teams trained for marine-environment operational realities — service stability on moving decks, charter operator coordination, harbor wayfinding. Crossover with Playa Vista and Venice activations is routine. All staff are 100% W-2 and AB-5 compliant.
