Brian A. Kremen ’75

Brian died of cancer Feb. 5, 2025, in Canada. There was no one more ebullient and high-spirited than Brian, who brought a smile to everyone’s face with his witty one-liners and comedic timing.

He came to us from Bergen Catholic High School in Oradell, N.J., where he developed a love of the arts, particularly the performing arts. At Princeton, he honed this passion for acting, along with his considerable talents as a dancer and singer. Primarily, Brian is remembered for his commitment to the Triangle Club, for which he performed every year and often encouraged his shy friends to “have a go” and audition. He was an English major and joined Tower Club.

Following graduation, Brian entered the world of the theater, relocating to Canada to be with his husband, Mike Plaus. There he became a director at Followspot Theatre and the Toronto Theatre Alliance. He eventually diversified his talents, becoming a development director for the Mississauga Symphony, the RiverBrink Art Museum, and the Pumphouse Arts Centre. He also served as president of the Princeton Association of Canada.

We mourn the loss of this keen Princetonian, devoted Triangle supporter, and blithe spirit.
