Coordinated multi-character packages for theme park-adjacent events, family days, and large brand activations — 3–10 characters with backstage support.
Chicago corporate character work runs heaviest at Mag Mile and Fulton Market retail openings (where a branded mascot or themed performer anchors the launch crowd), employer-brand family days produced by Loop and North Shore corporates, and themed performers for corporate murder mysteries and immersive offsites at private River North and West Loop venues. We staff custom mascots for trade-show booth activations at McCormick Place, themed performers (period, prohibition-era, sci-fi) for corporate immersive events, and IP-safe costumed characters for Navy Pier and Wrigley family-day brand activations. Captains brief on Chicago winter outdoor realities — rotation, layering, hand-warmer protocol. All staff are 100% W-2.
Showcraft serves Evanston and the surrounding IL area with 100% W-2 talent, full insurance, and senior captains on every event. Evanston is the North Shore's university-and-corporate anchor — Northwestern University drives a year-round calendar of fundraising galas, partnership events, and Welsh-Ryan Arena / Ryan Field game-day brand work, plus the downtown Evanston / Sherman Avenue corridor hosts a real retail and dining event run. We staff registration and check-in for Northwestern alumni and fundraising events, sponsor-zone activations at Welsh-Ryan Arena and Ryan Field, brand ambassadors for downtown Evanston retail launches, and hospitality crews for Hilton Orrington and Hyatt Place offsites. Roster is bilingual EN/ES with strong polish — comfortable with university-affiliated and gala clientele. All staff are 100% W-2.

Questions Evanston buyers ask about multi-character packages.
When do Evanston corporate events use multi-character packages?+
Brand family days, large retail openings, sports activations, theme-park-adjacent brand events, and corporate holiday parties with kid-facing components. Multi-character packages in Evanston typically run 3-10 characters with coordinated photo flows, captain support, and backstage logistics handled by Showcraft.
How are multi-character packages coordinated at a Evanston activation?+
On-site captain managing rotations, photo lines, cool-down breaks, and backstage handoffs. For larger Chicago bookings we add a dedicated character coordinator separate from the event captain. Costumes, props, and a secured backstage area are staged before doors open in Evanston.
Are your Evanston multi-character performers W-2 and insured?+
Yes. Every performer in a Showcraft multi-character package in Evanston is a W-2 employee with workers' comp and general liability coverage. COIs are issued naming the venue and additional insureds. In California, our payroll structure is fully AB-5 / AB-2257 compliant.
How early should we book a multi-character package in Evanston?+
For 5-10 character bookings in Chicago, 4-6 weeks of lead time is ideal so we can cast for likeness, height, and performance fit. Standard fill is 2-3 weeks. Holiday and peak season fill faster; lock the brief earlier for first choice of performers in Evanston.
