‘Twilight’ actor to help Lake Norman High fundraiser

Lake Norman High

Actor Kiowa Gordon, who played werewolf Embry Call in the “Twilight” series of movies, will help Lake Norman High’s theater program raise funds for a class trip to a prestigious acting festival in Scotland.

Gordon will participate in a Jan. 31 fundraiser at the school, which includes a meet-and-greet with the actor from 5:30 to 6 p.m. and a special improvisational performance by The Academy, LNHS’s advanced acting honors class, at 7:30 p.m.

The cost of the fundraiser is $50 per person, and includes appetizers, photos with Gordon and seats for the improv show, “Lake Norman Live!” Tickets are available for the show separately at $5 per person.

Proceeds from the fundraiser will go towards helping The Academy’s students attend the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August, considered one of the world’s largest arts festivals. The Lake Norman High program was the only school in North Carolina to earn an invitation to participate in the festival.

For information or to buy tickets for the fundraiser, call 704-799-8555 or email kdowell@iss.k12.nc.us.
