Suri Cruise, the 20-year-old daughter of actors Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, is set to star in a modern adaptation of William Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” according to an exclusive report by Page Six.
She graduated from New York City’s LaGuardia High School in June 2024, where she swapped her famous father’s last name for her mother’s middle name, adopting the professional monicker Suri Noelle.
Production Details and Pittsburgh Debut
The 90-minute play will be performed by Suri and her fellow Carnegie Mellon University students at the Trust Arts Education Center’s Peirce Studio in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, as reported by Page Six. Two local shows are scheduled to run on July 31 and Aug. 1.
Following the Pittsburgh run, the cast and crew will travel overseas. “Midsummer!” is slated to make its UK debut at the 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, running from Aug. 7 to Aug. 31, according to Page Six.
This project follows Cruise’s appearance in March, when she portrayed the character Angel in “Cosmic Microwave Background,” a one-night-only staged reading at Pittsburgh’s New Hazlett Theater as part of its CSA: Off the Page series, according to Page Six. The role marks a steady pivot toward theatrical performance, following prior public speculation that she was leaning toward a degree in fashion.
Family Background and Early Life
Suri is the only child of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, who welcomed her in April 2006 and wed seven months later, according to Page Six. Following their divorce in August 2012, Suri lived with Holmes, who has noted in recent years that the two of them “kind of grew up together,” as reported by Page Six.
Tom Cruise has been estranged from Suri for years, according to Page Six. The “Top Gun” actor, 64, is a practicing Scientologist and is also father to daughter Isabella “Bella” Cruise, 33, and son Connor Cruise, 31, whom he adopted during his marriage to his second wife, Nicole Kidman, according to Page Six. Before his 11-year marriage to Kidman, Tom Cruise was married to actor Mimi Rogers from 1987 to 1990, with Rogers credited by biographers with introducing him to the Church of Scientology, according to Page Six.
