Baby Lemonades Uchigatana Bijutsu (Katana Art) and Whimsical Expressions by Jax Kwok

Baby Lemonade, (Samantha Deebel), was born in Bangkok, Thailand. Her first picture storybook, made at age five, was about her grandma being a witch. Today she resides in Cape Canaveral, FL.

She defines her art as Cosmic Abstract Expressionism and her artist statement: Love and More Love.

I have always had a fascination with Japanese Culture, especially Samurais, Sumo Wrestling and Kabuki. I love watching Akira Kurosawas films and believe I was a Samurai Warrior in one of my past lives.

A friend gifted me a Katana Sword and I was inspired to pick it up one day and paint with it! I really had fun creating new interpretations of texture on canvas. My work is the result of this Cosmic Encounter with a Katana.

Jax Kwok, an acrylic artist, was born in Malaysian and studied in Taiwan. He has been featured in magazine publications and won art awards locally and internationally. At the present time he lives between Morristown, NJ and Cocoa Beach, FL.

He is always enamored with the natural beauty of his homeland geography and the distinct botanicals that thrive there. His passion and unique artistic interpretation of both the geography of the land and the many floras of the gardens, enable him to change the "ordinary" to the "extraordinary" in his expressive paintings.

I only paint subject matter which makes me joyful, because I want the final product to make my audiences joyful as well! My artistic creations exemplify the natural beauty of nature, but with touches of whimsy and the magic of fantasy.

The May Exhibition runs from Tuesday, April 30 to Sunday, June 2. Meet Baby Lemonade and Jax Kwok at the reception on Friday, May 3 from 6:00 to 9:00 PM and witness their unique creations.

We are now offering our Master Gardener class on Saturdays!

In this hilarious and outlandish story, the lives of six teenagers from a Canadian chamber choir are cut short in a freak accident aboard a roller coaster. When they awake in limbo, a mechanical fortune teller invites each to tell a story to win a prize like no other, the chance to return to life. This popular musical is a funny, moving look at what makes a life well-lived!

Fridays-Saturdays 8pm
Sundays 2 pm
Special Saturday Matinee May 11, 2pm

Directed by Bryan Bergeron

The Odd Couple (Female Version) is Neil Simons 1986 update of his original New York-based, male-cast comedy. This time, the lead players, Unger and Madison are women named Florence Unger and Olive Madison. They portray the persistently bickering roommates who try to make a go of cohabitation, despite having totally opposite personalities and lifestyles.

Where Olive is messy, untidy, and unconcerned about the state of her apartment, Florence is obsessively clean, tidy, and obsessed with hygiene. Olives easy-going outlook on life soon clashes with Florences highly-strung neurotic tendencies, testing their friendship to the limit.

Their persistent efforts to smooth over the potholes of life ramps up the comedy level and makes the show even more worthy of watching!

The place to be in Brevard County each month, featuring relevant and timely keynote speakers sharing information you won't hear anywhere else. The event recognizes new investors, new partners and top Brevard County students, as well as acknowledging an Ambassador of the Quarter. Attendees have the opportunity to network with corporate and civic leaders and a host of business owners and representatives spanning a variety of industries. Please check back closer to the event for speaker information.

The Odd Couple (Female Version) is Neil Simons 1986 update of his original New York-based, male-cast comedy. This time, the lead players, Unger and Madison are women named Florence Unger and Olive Madison. They portray the persistently bickering roommates who try to make a go of cohabitation, despite having totally opposite personalities and lifestyles.

Where Olive is messy, untidy, and unconcerned about the state of her apartment, Florence is obsessively clean, tidy, and obsessed with hygiene. Olives easy-going outlook on life soon clashes with Florences highly-strung neurotic tendencies, testing their friendship to the limit.

Their persistent efforts to smooth over the potholes of life ramps up the comedy level and makes the show even more worthy of watching!

Two Artists, Two Styles

Baby Lemonades Uchigatana Bijutsu (Katana Art) and Whimsical Expressions by Jax Kwok

Baby Lemonade, (Samantha Deebel), was born in Bangkok, Thailand. Her first picture storybook, made at age five, was about her grandma being a witch. Today she resides in Cape Canaveral, FL.

She defines her art as Cosmic Abstract Expressionism and her artist statement: Love and More Love.

I have always had a fascination with Japanese Culture, especially Samurais, Sumo Wrestling and Kabuki. I love watching Akira Kurosawas films and believe I was a Samurai Warrior in one of my past lives.

A friend gifted me a Katana Sword and I was inspired to pick it up one day and paint with it! I really had fun creating new interpretations of texture on canvas. My work is the result of this Cosmic Encounter with a Katana.

Jax Kwok, an acrylic artist, was born in Malaysian and studied in Taiwan. He has been featured in magazine publications and won art awards locally and internationally. At the present time he lives between Morristown, NJ and Cocoa Beach, FL.

He is always enamored with the natural beauty of his homeland geography and the distinct botanicals that thrive there. His passion and unique artistic interpretation of both the geography of the land and the many floras of the gardens, enable him to change the "ordinary" to the "extraordinary" in his expressive paintings.

I only paint subject matter which makes me joyful, because I want the final product to make my audiences joyful as well! My artistic creations exemplify the natural beauty of nature, but with touches of whimsy and the magic of fantasy.

The May Exhibition runs from Tuesday, April 30 to Sunday, June 2. Meet Baby Lemonade and Jax Kwok at the reception on Friday, May 3 from 6:00 to 9:00 PM and witness their unique creations.

Multi-talented Vicki Lawrence, is an actress, comedian, and singer known for the many characters she originated on CBS's The Carol Burnett Show, where she appeared from 1967 to 1978, for the entire series run. One such character, Thelma Harper/Mama, was the central character of ever popular television situation comedy series Mama's Family. The show still can be seen daily in syndication throughout most of the country and is available as part of a Time-Life DVD collection.



Lawrence is currently co-starring in the popular FOX-TV comedy series The Cool Kids. The series has been picked up for a full season of 22 episodes due to its Friday night success. The Cool Kids is a comedy about a rowdy, rag-tag group of friends living in a retirement community who are willing to break every rule in order to have fun. Lawrence’s co-stars are David Alan Grier, Martin Mull and Leslie Jordan.



Lawrence spends much of her time on the road with her stage production Vicki Lawrence and Mama, A Two Woman Show. She also enjoys speaking to women’s organizations and other great causes, where she shares her life story of fame, activism, and her continuing success. All the while she approaches everything with her characteristic sense of humor, reminding us all that “Life is much too serious to be taken seriously!”



Lawrence has multiple Emmy Award nominations, winning one in 1976. She is a multiple Golden Globe nominee, all for The Carol Burnett Show. In 1973, Lawrence recorded the hit song "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia." It reached Number One on both the United States and Canada top charts.



In the past, Lawrence hosted a popular game show, Win, Lose or Draw, her own daytime talk show, Vicki!, and appeared in many theatre productions. She was the only talk show host since Oprah to be nominated for a Daytime Emmy in her freshman year.

Through the years Lawrence has made appearances on other television programs, such as Laverne & Shirley, Major Dad, Roseanne, Hannah Montana, and Yes, Dear. Lawrence has also appeared with Burnett, Korman, and Tim Conway in the Burnett show retrospectives.

On stage Vicki has appeared in numerous productions, including Carousel, Send Me No Flowers, No, No, Nanette, Chapter Two, Hello Dolly, I’m Getting My Act Together and Taking It ON The Road, Annie Get Your Gun and live from the Grand Ole Opry, Nunsense 3: The Jamboree which aired on TNN.
