In Memoriam:
Brian Scott Schwartz
1977-2021

Forge Theatre is saddened to announce that on Monday, March 8, 2021 after experiencing a medical emergency, the passing of Brian Scott Schwartz.
Brian was active with Forge for quite a few years where he served as a Board Member, Actor, Director, His first show at Forge was 1776 followed by The Rocky Horror Show; Company; The 39 Steps; Avenue Q; Man of La Mancha; The Full Monty; L'il Abner; The Drowsy Chaperone; Cabaret; Don't Drink the Water; COVID Christmas and many more at Barley Sheaf Players of Exton; The Barn Playhouse in Jeffersonville PA and Playcrafters of Skippack.
Brian was our Box Office guru and many of you will remember him as your contact for Membership or Season Tickets, and even more recently, the one you email or call when you have trouble logging into the Virtual performances. In addition, Brian served on the Board in charge of membership and chairman of the chair fund, as well as chairing the theater renovation project where he worked closely with other Board members and volunteers. His attention to detail and meticulous ability to ensure follow-up made him an invaluable asset to Forge Theatre and the Board of Directors.
He enjoyed Quizzo, karaoke, was a true fan of the Eagles and the Phillies, had a love for concerts, and enjoyed spending time with his friends and family the most; especially his nieces and nephew. Brian truly loved being an uncle. But mostly, he cherished the time he was able to spend with the love of his life, Kelly Fitzgerald (Forge Past President) whom he married in October 2019.
Per the family, Brian loved the arts and request in lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in Brian’s name to your Local Community Theater of choice or one of the theater’s where Brian was active. In addition, if you you would like to donate, a Go Fund Me account (link found at the end of this email) has been set up to assist Kelly with unexpected expenses.
