Junior member on stage for '13'

Junior member Samantha Paley can soon be seen at the Youth Theatre Northwest's production of "13 the Musical" on Mercer Island.

This musical, which opened on Broadway in 2008, is the story of 13-year-old Evan Goldman, who moves from New York to Indiana and tries to fit in at his new middle school, including getting the popular kids to attend his bar mitzvah.

The show, appropriate for kids 12 and older, runs April 22-May 8. For more information or for tickets, visit Youth Theatre Northwest's website.
