Katie’s daughter Suri Cruise , whom she shares with ex-husband Tom Cruise, 62, came home from her freshman year at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh to see her mother perform.

Suri was the first person in the audience to jump to her feet with applause when the play ended, the New York Daily News reported.

The patchwork pants are similar to the ones Katie wore this summer when she attended a Dave Matthews Band performance in Jones Beach, New York.

At the time she shared a black and white snap from the concert of herself with singer Dave Matthews, 57, and drummer Carter Beauford, 65. 

She captioned the post: ‘Thank you @davematthewsband for an AMAZING night!’

In the photos, the Alone Together director wore a casual, flowy white t-shirt and a pair of patchwork pants.

Fans of the band commented on a connection between DMB and Dawson’s Creek in the comments of her post.

‘And Dave Matthews Band has been on Dawson’s Creek!,’ one fan chimed in, referring to the band’s song Lover Lay Down, which appeared in the season two episode High Risk Behavior.

Another fan commented: ‘This is so 90s,’ while a third added: ‘So fun! All of my college throwbacks in one place.’ 

Katie is an empty nester now that Suri has gone off to college and she remembers that time in her life fondly.

Katie attended Colombia University for a time before she was offered her role in Dawson’s Creek.

‘I remember being this age, this time of beginnings. It’s exciting to learn about yourself, and I loved that time, so it makes me happy to think about it like that,’ she told Town & Country.
