CHARLIE JACOBS

Various lighting design work for productions at California Institute of the Arts in the Coffeehouse Theater, including Apocalypse at the Rainforest Cafe and Cucumbers and Commitment. Light plot for Apocalypse at the Rainforest Cafe created in Vectorworks.

​

Apocalypse at the Rainforest Cafe was a two-hour immersive, four-dimensional, no-intermission-thriller experience. When night falls, the secret lives of the workers and animatronic animals of the Rainforest Cafe are exposed only to be immeasurably interrupted by the Illuminati's plot to take over the world.

​

Cucumbers and Committment is a one-woman show about love, loss, grief, and redemption. Iranian American artist, Hasti Bakian, guides the audience through song, dance, and interactive theater as she uses humor to talk about dating in your 20s, longing for love, losing a mother, and the grief she and so many others carry from the 1988 massacre of innocent prisoners in Iran.
