All the world\u2019s a stage, and Suri Cruise<\/a> is breaking in her pair of two-inch-high character shoes. According to \u201cPage Six<\/a>,\u201d the 20-year-old daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes<\/a> will star in Midsummer!, a modern adaptation of William Shakespeare\u2019s A Midsummer Night\u2019s Dream. The 90-minute production will preview in Pittsburgh at the Trust Arts Education Center<\/a> on July 31 and August 1 before making its U.K. debut at the 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which will run from August 7 to 31. An anonymous source also claimed that Cruise, a soon-to-be junior at Carnegie Mellon, is officially studying musical theater in the college\u2019s school of drama.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear whom Cruise is playing \u2014 her name doesn\u2019t appear on the play\u2019s event page<\/a>, which describes the cast as 19 Carnegie Mellon students. Though she was initially rumored to be pursuing a fashion degree, it\u2019s not exactly surprising Cruise ended up pivoting to theater. She did go to La Guardia, New York\u2019s most infamous performing-arts school, and she has been acting since she got to college, including in a one-night-only community production of Cosmic Microwave Background<\/a> at Pittsburgh\u2019s New Hazlett Theater in March.<\/p>\n

Holmes recently defended<\/a> her daughter against Daily Mail<\/a> rumors that she came into \u201ca great deal of money\u201d from a purported trust fund, calling them \u201ccompletely false\u201d in a succinct Instagram post<\/a>. If anything, Cruise taking the thee-ay-ater stage to recite 2026-ified iambic pentameter is a nice way to prove not only her acting chops but that she\u2019s in it for the genuine love of the game.<\/p>\n
