What parents say
"We hired Superman and Wonderwoman for my sons 4th birthday. I can't tell you enough how happy we were. It absolutely made the party. They were both punctual, had great banter, games and amazing personalities. It was affordable and the office staff communicated perfectly to get all of the details and even brought ideas to the table. It was the best all around and many guests requested business cards at the end. Thank you from the Lawson's!"

"Oh holy cow they are awesome! I had three power rangers come to my house. There were probably about 40 children and they kept them all engaged and excited for the full hour plus that they were here! All of the parents were raving about how good they were and how excited the kids were to be part of their adventure. I cannot stress enough how over the moon I was with the actors that they sent and how into their characters they were—great performance. I would not shop any further than this company, their performers are top notch and will not disappoint!"

"My 6yo son's Star Wars birthday party was a huge success! The men who played the two chosen characters (good guy = Luke; bad guy = Darth Vader) were fantastic in their traditional character role, but they also made it silly and HILARIOUS. All the kids and parents laughed when Darth Vader was confused when he was too tall to get through the front door. Their light saber fighting was top notch and impressive. I received lots of compliments after the party."
