Mimi (BJ the Clown) is the founder and President of Klown Kapers Inc (established in 1983). BJ is a certified secondary level drama instructor and holds a specialized BFA degree (and Teachers Certification) from Florida State University (1978). BJ has worked in our local School systems as a High School and Middle School drama teacher for over twenty years and has produced over 75 shows to her credit in our educational settings.

     As the brain child and founder of BJ’S Party House, The Children’s Musical Review, and BJ’S Buddies TV Pilot Productions, BJ has rejuvenated the children’s musical performances venue in the South East, and has provided educational work opportunities for hundreds of up & coming artists as well as produced quality educational live performances for thousands of children throughout her unique career.    

BJ’s BFA (with an emphasis on Musical theatre) includes acting roles in numerous Traditional Tallahassee venues including; FSU Main stage productions, TCC live Theatre productions, Tallahassee Little Theatre productions, WCTV commercial spots, local interviews, published articles (Tallahassee Magazine, Tallahassee’s Child), and a featured role in  NBCs "Unsolved Mysteries” in 1999 (Missing Momma case). Although BJ is well known to the Audiences of the North East for her "over the top" productions (and cadre of talented performers of all ages and disciplines), BJ is also a true promoter of the arts for everyone young and old. BJ has devoted her life to quality performances, performers, children’s charities, and promotion of the Arts in the South East.

     BJ’S Great Uncle, Sol Solomon (Featured on "This is your life" Sol Solomon - 1965) owned a world famous  traveling circus and train that was funded in part by the U.S government to bring joy and laughter to our troops and their families in the USA (and abroad) during World War II. Sol had a renown Trained Gorilla that always rode the rails first class with his master and in turn, that close companionship translated into a bond that allowed them to produce an animal act that was truly a first of its kind. This relationship was based on mutual admiration, respect, and love, and of course delighted the audiences of Millions during the worst of times.

    Ceil (Ceil the Clown / Mime) is a veteran performer of 20 years in many genres of performance art. A co-founder and instructor for this company, Ceil lends all of her talents to the advancement of the art forms we promote. Ceil is a beautiful and gifted sign linguist and high school teacher, as well as an amazing visual artist and professional Mime.

     Ceil and BJ became fast and solid friends while working together in rural Monticello Florida, under a grant sponsored by the Florida Division of Cultural Affairs (1984). Since that time this dynamic duo has produced 3 TV pilots together (13 educational scripts for the “BJ’s Buddies" shows), and have performed together for hundreds of corporate, educational and private events state wide.
Ceils beauty, grace, & impeccable sense of humor is the counterpart to BJ’s silly, clumsy, impossible never-ending search for the answer to all questions. These two artists compliment one another like peanut butter does jelly! See these two dynamic artists at all of Tallahassee’s Downtown Get downs and featured at the Seminole Village at Landis Green along with Rosie the Clown (BJs daughter!) during the FSU foot ball season games!
