According to Access Hollywood, Edi Gathegi ("Laurent" in Twilight and The Twilight Saga: New Moon) is on a lengthy list of castmembers for an upcoming theater event called "24 Hour Hollywood Rush," which is "the first all-night theater extravaganza event of its kind." It takes place from February 19th to the 20th.
According to 24HourHollywoodRush.org, the event description is as follows:

Forty of Hollywood’s most talented writers, directors and actors will come together to pull off a creative feat unlike anything they’ve ever attempted.
The work starts the evening before the show. A group of writers will have 12 hours to compose six 10-minute plays. At 8 a.m. on the morning of the event, the scripts will be handed off to an assembly of directors and actors who will then rehearse the material into the afternoon. After a technical rehearsal and red carpet arrivals, the show starts—only 24 hours after the process began.
. . . This fundraiser will benefit the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center’s Crystal Meth Recovery Services.

This sound very similar to the play Lee Pace ("Garrett" in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn) recently did called "24 Hour Play."

It's also not the first time we've heard of Edi Gathegi doing theater. In fact, right around a year ago, he did a Valentine's Day show in an L.A. theater.

By the way, the video below is a recent interview Access Hollywood did with Edi Gathegi at a Golden Globes gift lounge. In it, he talks a lot about his recent work in X-Men: First Class, which hits theaters on June 3rd. In the film, Gathegi portrays a mutant character called Darwin. He was cast for the part last summer.
