Katie Holmes looks happy in NYC… after her performance in the Broadway play Our Town is called ‘phenomenal’

Katie Holmes looks happy in NYC... after her performance in the Broadway play Our Town is called 'phenomenal'

As an experienced educator who has spent many years guiding young minds towards their dreams, I must say that Suri’s journey into college at Carnegie Mellon University truly resonates with me. Her passion for acting and dance, nurtured by parents with rich industry backgrounds, seems to be a perfect blend of talent and opportunity.


Katie Holmes was seen running errands in New York City on Tuesday.

The well-known actress was casually attired in a black hoodie and blue trousers, with her hair pulled back and bare-faced, while holding a steaming cup of coffee.

Tom Cruise’s former wife was carrying a spacious, cream-toned Tribeca handbag and donning brown square-framed sunglasses, along with practical footwear.

This evening, Holmes is set to reprise her role as Mrs. Webb in a fresh staging of the Broadway production, Our Town.

Katie has been getting raves online for her performance, being called ‘phenomenal‘ and ‘amazing.’

For the first time in more than two decades, Thornton Wilder’s play “Our Town” has made its comeback on Broadway.

The event boasts a grand ensemble of 28 performers, among whom are Holmes, Jim Parsons, Zoey Deutch, Ephraim Sykes, Julie Halston, and Michelle Wilson.

The story unfolds in the traditional mold of a quaint town, with a stage manager guiding us through the everyday lives of its residents, revealing how a childhood bond matures into a lasting union, and ultimately exploring profound insights about existence itself, as described on the official Broadway website.

The previews for this production started on Tuesday, September 17, at the Barrymore Theatre. The official opening night is scheduled for October 10, and it will continue to run until January 19, 2025.

Currently, Tom Cruise’s brown-haired daughter, Suri Cruise, is studying at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Despite the fact that Tom, who has been separated from Suri, will not attend, he is still covering her educational expenses, as stated in their divorce agreement. (DailyMail.com reported last month that this responsibility falls to him.)

As a devoted supporter, I eagerly anticipate my chance to visit my child at school. Seeing them there brings me great joy, and I take pride in being an active participant in their educational journey.

Katie studied at Columbia University for some time, and she enjoyed it immensely. Now, she’s delighted that her daughter will be attending college as well.

The 18-year-old student moved into the dorms a week ago with the help of Holmes. Classes began on August 26, according to the school’s website.

Cruise is forking over the money to put her through college. 

It was determined back in 2012, following his divorce from Katie after six years of marriage, that he would be responsible for her educational expenses.

According to the divorce papers, it was disclosed that Tom is responsible for covering various expenses related to Suri, such as medical care, dental treatments, insurance premiums, educational costs (including college tuition), and additional expenses associated with her extracurricular activities.

According to a friend of Tom’s who spoke to DailyMail.com, Tom does, in fact, cover Suri’s educational expenses. He has consistently taken care of her schooling costs and has no intention of stopping, as he is known for being a responsible person. The yearly tuition at CMU amounts to $65,000.

He consistently and without hesitation takes care of his daughter’s child support and related costs, true to his word, and he faithfully carries out his duty.

However, since Suri turned 18, it seems highly unlikely that he continues to provide Katie with the $38,000 yearly child support payments.

It seems unusual that Tom is supporting Suri financially since it’s been more than ten years since the two of them were last seen together in photos.

Their last snapshot together in public was in April 2013.

Katie, originally known as Katie Cruise, now goes by the name Noelle, which suggests a possible strain in her relationship with her father.

Currently, it’s been shared by DailyMail.com that Suri is eager for her college life and is residing in a shared dorm room with another female student in a women-only dormitory.

As a fervent enthusiast, I am embarking on the immersive journey of college life by opting for dormitory accommodation and sharing a room with a fellow student. An intimate confidant shared this information with DailyMail.com. My anticipation runs high as I eagerly look forward to starting an exhilarating new phase in my life.

Rather than staying at Mom Homes’ spacious, three-bedroom luxury high-rise apartment in New York City, the teenager will instead reside in a simple dormitory room.

She is believed to be house in Scobell House which has a maximum of 88 students and is all female. 

Among the notable features of Carnegie Mellon is its campus, which boasts numerous eateries serving up cappuccinos, croissants, pasta, and smoothies. Additionally, it houses a modern fitness facility for wellness enthusiasts.

The rooms can be for one person, two or three, depending on need and price. 

One of the rooms features two sets of bunk beds, allowing for accommodation of up to four students.

Most of the dorm rooms offer furniture: there is a single bed with space underneath for storage, a five level chest of drawers, a desk with three drawers and a chair.  

At this complex, you’ll find various convenient spaces such as a television room, a quiet study room, an area for relaxation, laundry services, and even a shared kitchen.

In the community known as WHeSco, Scobell resides, which encompasses both Henderson and Welch houses. The WHeSco location is conveniently close to numerous academic buildings and dining facilities in Resnik. Each building features a common area on the ground floor that offers students access to lounges, laundry services, and kitchen facilities, as mentioned on the website.

There is plenty of food to purchase on campus so Suri won’t go hungry as she crams for finals. 

At the Cohon Center, there are eateries similar to Au Bon Pain café bakery, where Cruise can grab chocolate croissants and sodas.

Additionally, you’ll find the delightful Ciao Bella restaurant, known for its scrumptious pasta dishes such as Fettucine Alfredo; it’s situated within the Cohon Center. Meanwhile, The Edge Cafe and Market at Resnik House is a convenient spot where Suri can pick up bagels, cream cheese, and even pizza.

As a die-hard admirer, I’ve been buzzing with excitement ever since Katie dropped a hint about Suri possibly diving headfirst into the world of acting and dance at Carnegie Mellon! In an interview with Town & Country magazine, Katie herself revealed that after college, our little starlet is aiming for stardom in showbiz. Simply put, I can’t wait to witness Suri’s journey unfold on the big screen!

Both Katie and Suri’s father Tom have been in the industry since their early 20s.

According to the magazine, it’s no surprise that Suri has shown interest in either fashion or acting, given her past experience on stage, as evidenced by her role in the high school production of The Addams Family.

And Katie has already put Suri to work on two of her films.

In two of Holmes’ movies, released as the 2023 drama “Rare Objects” and the 2022 romantic drama “Alone Together”, Suri lent her voice to the songs.

‘I’m proud of my daughter,’ Holmes told Town & Country of her daughter.

‘Of course, I will miss the close proximity, but I’m really proud of her and I’m happy.’

In an interview with Glamour in April 2023, Holmes mentioned that she’s been motivating Suri to participate in her creative endeavors.

‘I hope she always does something on my films,’ Holmes said. ‘I always ask her.’

Holmes mentioned that both instances stemmed from the shared passion he has for our field, a passion expressed through the common bond created when working on projects together, resulting in team members feeling like they’re part of a family.
