When Adam’s parents relocated the family to Dubai, Adam grew up in a religious Muslim household with American cable television, going to a British school in a Gulf state where over 90% of the population were migrant workers. This upbringing at the cross-section of cultures is at the core of the artist Adam is.

Today, Adam is a writer, theater maker, and dramaturg committed to telling stories from communities that have been historically under and misrepresented on American television screens and stages. Adam’s writing for theater and TV interrogates the intersections of queerness, immigration, and colonialism. His plays (including Memorial, Jamestown/ Williamsburg, Revelation and Drowning in Cairo) have been developed and seen at The Lark, The Tisch School of the Arts, The LaGuardia Performing Arts Center, and Golden Thread Productions. Adam is a Co-founder of The Criminal Queerness Festival with National Queer Theater, and a fellow at Georgetown University's Laboratory for Global Performance. He holds a BA in Theater with an emphasis in Playwriting and Dramaturgy from NYU Abu Dhabi and is an MFA Candidate in Playwriting at Brooklyn College.

When not reading and writing plays and pilots, you can probably find Adam scrolling through social media and “the apps,” hosting charcuterie brunches, or watching bad reality TV with his chosen family in their Harlem apartment.
