Hire costumed characters
in Princeton.
Trained character performers in screen-accurate costumes for retail openings, family days, brand activations, and corporate events with kid-facing components.
NJ corporate character work runs heaviest at brand family days produced by Hudson-waterfront financial-services employers (Goldman, JPM, Morgan Stanley all run major employer-brand family events on the Jersey side), retail openings at Newport Centre and Westfield Garden State Plaza that want a custom branded mascot to anchor the opening, and themed performers for corporate murder mysteries and immersive employer-brand events at Newark and Princeton venues. Our NJ character pool is bilingual EN/ES with Portuguese coverage for Newark's Ironbound community and Hindi / Gujarati / Tamil coverage for Hudson and Bergen South Asian community events. All staff are 100% W-2.
Showcraft serves Princeton and the surrounding NJ area with 100% W-2 talent, full insurance, and senior captains on every event. Princeton is the university-and-pharma anchor of Central Jersey — Princeton University drives a year-round calendar of alumni galas, partnership programming, and high-polish corporate offsites at Nassau Inn and Forrestal Village, plus the Princeton-area pharma corridor (Bristol-Myers Squibb, Novo Nordisk, Otsuka, plus the Route 1 / Carnegie Center corporate parks) anchors a real biotech-and-pharma event calendar. We staff brand ambassadors and registration crews for Princeton alumni events, hospitality teams for Nassau Inn corporate buyouts, lead-capture for pharma launches along the Carnegie Center / Route 1 corridor, and demo crews for biotech partner days. Roster includes a sub-pool with life-sciences backgrounds. All staff are 100% W-2.

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