‘The Ballad of Pondlife McGurk’

We all can relate to Martin — a young boy who moves to a new school where he knows no one. Until he meets Simon McGurk, that is.

This latest show, “The Ballad of Pondlife McGurk,” running June 13 to 22 at the New Victory Theater, will take the audience through Martin’s story in a unique way.

Families with children ages 8 years and older will be sitting on the floor of the actual stage as they watch the one-man show unfold.

Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, June 13 to 22. Fridays at 7 pm, Saturdays at 2 and 7 pm, and Sundays at noon and 5 pm. Tickets are $25, $18 for members.

The New Victory Theater [209 W. 42nd St. between Seventh and Eighth avenues in Times Square, (646) 223–3010, www.newvictory.org/Show-Detail.aspx?ProductionId=5295].
