"It's about a real family with real love and real tragedy. The family is so different than mine, but it still resonated," he said.

Forstall is a long-time theater fan - he met his wife, Molly, when they were in a high school play together.

In addition to his financial contributions to the show, he also helped with digital marketing strategies and worked on partnerships with Silicon Valley companies like Uber and Yelp.
