A Star Is Born.

The 20-year-old daughter of actors Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes is gearing up to star in an iconic William Shakespeare-adapted play, Page Six can exclusively reveal.

Suri Cruise — who swapped her famous father’s last name for her famous mother’s middle name, Noelle, upon graduating from New York City’s LaGuardia High School in June 2024 — will be appearing in “Midsummer!,” a modern take on “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”

The 90-minute production will be performed by Suri and fellow Carnegie Mellon University students at the Trust Arts Education Center’s Peirce Studio in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Two shows will run on July 31 and Aug. 1 before the cast and crew take their talents across the pond.

“Midsummer!” is slated to make its UK debut at the 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which runs from Aug. 7 to Aug. 31.

Page Six can also reveal that Suri — who recently completed her sophomore year at Carnegie Mellon — is studying musical theater in the college’s school of drama after it was previously believed that she was “leaning toward” obtaining a degree in fashion.

In March, 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.

Tom — a practicing Scientologist who has long been estranged from Suri — and Holmes welcomed their only child together in April 2006 before tying the knot seven months later.

After the “Top Gun” franchise star, 64, and the “Dawson’s Creek” star, 47, divorced in August 2012, Suri lived with her mom, who has admitted in recent years that they “kind of grew up together.”

Tom is also dad to daughter Isabella “Bella” Cruise, 33, and son Connor Cruise, 31, whom he adopted when he was married to his second wife, Nicole Kidman.

Prior to his 11-year marriage with Kidman, Tom was wed to Mimi Rogers — who is often credited with introducing him to the Church of Scientology — from 1987 to 1990.
