Hire costumed characters
in Garden Grove.
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.

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.

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 Garden Grove. 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 Garden Grove character performers trained?+
Yes — every Showcraft character performer in Garden Grove 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 Garden Grove character performers W-2 and insured?+
