Hire costumed characters
in Anaheim.
Trained character performers in screen-accurate costumes for retail openings, family days, brand activations, and corporate events with kid-facing components.
OC corporate character work runs heaviest at Anaheim Resort District activations (where a portion of our character roster has prior Disneyland Resort and Universal training), Fashion Island and South Coast Plaza retail openings that want a branded mascot to anchor the crowd, and themed performers for murder mysteries and immersive corporate events at Newport and Irvine venues. Brand marketing teams use our characters for retail launches, family days hosted by employer brands, and themed corporate parties. Our OC character pool understands resort-district operational standards — character integrity, gesture, gait, and the boundary between IP-safe brand performance and trademarked properties. 100% W-2, AB-5 and AB-2257 compliant.
Showcraft serves Anaheim and the surrounding CA area with 100% W-2 talent, full insurance, and senior captains on every event. Anaheim is the busiest convention city in the western US — over 200 trade shows and 1M+ attendees a year flow through the Anaheim Convention Center on Katella. We staff brand booths and lead-capture teams for NAMM, Natural Products Expo West, WonderCon, and D23, plus character work and family-day productions across the Disneyland Resort, Honda Center, and Angel Stadium corridors. The Platinum Triangle's hotel cluster (Marriott, Hilton, Sheraton Park, JW Marriott) keeps offsite breakouts active year-round, and our Disney-trained character performers and bilingual ES talent make Anaheim a strong fit for family-skewing brands.

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