Alexander Adam '07, an active member of the Princeton theater community, died of bone cancer last Thursday in New York. He was 23.
A 2003 graduate of the Trinity School in New York, Adam lived on the Upper West Side of Manhattan with his parents, Laszlo '73 and Eleanor, and his two brothers, Nick '08 and Dash.
After being diagnosed with cancer, Adam took several semesters off from school for treatment. He is listed as a member of the Class of 2009. He had been treated at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
Adam performed with Theatre Intime, the Princeton Shakespeare Company and the Program in Theater and Dance during his three semesters on campus.
Adam acted in the student-written "Playing in the Dark: A Multi-Media, Minstrel Dramedy" in the spring of 2004, playing a gay white Princeton undergraduate in a play about sexuality, race and conformism at the University. The next fall, he played the psychiatrist Ernie in Theatre Intime's production of the Neil Simon play "Rumors."
A memorial service is scheduled for 3 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 2, at the Church of Heavenly Rest on Fifth Avenue and 90th Street in New York, and the family encourages donations in his name to Sloan-Kettering's Pediatric Division.
A memorial service on campus will follow.
