Reliable PAs with on-set experience for productions, photo shoots, festival operations, and brand content days.

Chicago is the trade-show capital of North America — McCormick Place runs IMTS, RSNA, NRA, the Auto Show, and IPPE, each pulling 50,000+ attendees. Beyond McCormick we cover three other layers: Loop and Fulton Market corporate events (the city's anchor agency and tech corridor), Magnificent Mile retail openings, and lakefront festival sampling (Lollapalooza, Taste of Chicago, Air & Water Show). Captains know the McCormick freight elevator schedule, IATSE / Teamsters Local 814 jurisdiction lines, and Loop load-in commute reality. Exhibitor program leads, agency producers, and Mag Mile retail launch teams are our anchor buyer. Cold-weather uniform protocol on every winter outdoor call. All staff are 100% W-2 and fully insured.

Showcraft serves Naperville and the surrounding IL area with 100% W-2 talent, full insurance, and senior captains on every event. Naperville is the western Chicago suburbs' corporate-and-family anchor — Nokia / Bell Labs Naperville, BMO Tower campus, Nicor Gas, and the broader Naperville HQ corridor anchor a real corporate-offsite calendar, and the Naperville Riverwalk plus downtown Jefferson Avenue corridor pulls steady community-event activity. We staff brand ambassadors and lead-capture for corporate offsites along Diehl Road and the Naperville HQ corridor, family-day production at Naper Settlement and the Riverwalk, registration crews for offsites at the Embassy Suites and Hyatt Regency Naperville, and brand activations for downtown Naperville retail and dining events. Roster is bilingual EN/ES with strong family-friendly talent pool. All staff are 100% W-2.

FAQ · PRODUCTION ASSISTANTS in NAPERVILLE

Questions Naperville buyers ask about production assistants.

What kind of production assistants does Showcraft provide in Naperville?+

Set PAs, key PAs, office PAs, runners, locations PAs, and on-set logistical support for photo shoots, video productions, brand content days, and festival operations across Chicago. Every PA is briefed on call-time, parking, lockup protocols, and chain of command before day-of.

Do your Naperville PAs have on-set experience?+

Yes — our Naperville PA roster is drawn from people who have worked productions in Chicago before, not first-timers. They know set etiquette, basic walkie protocol, lockups, and craft service flow. For specialty needs (camera PA, art PA, locations) flag the department in your initial request.

Are your Naperville PAs W-2 employees?+

Yes. Every Showcraft PA working in Naperville is a W-2 employee with payroll, workers' comp, and general liability coverage — important for productions that need to keep talent off 1099 status. In California, that's fully AB-5 / AB-2257 compliant.

How fast can you staff PAs for a Naperville shoot?+

Quote turnaround is under 24 hours. Standard fill for a Naperville crew (3-10 PAs) is 3-5 days. Rush calls under 48 hours are accommodated with a surcharge — we maintain enough roster depth in Chicago to fill most last-minute shoots, though selectivity drops as lead time shrinks.
