David Letterman will welcome Charles Grodin, the funny man, actor, playwright, director and commentator, to the Friday, January 20th broadcast of the CBS late night show "The David Letterman Show." Host and guest will chat about Grodin's new Off-Broadway play The Right Kind of People, which will soon open at Primary Stages at 59E59 Theatres.

Under the direction of Chris Smith, the cast features Doris Belack, Stephen Bradbury, Fred Burrell, Mitch Greenberg, Keith Jochim, Katherine Leask, Ed Owens, Robert Stanton, Evan Thompson and John C. Vennema. Preview performances begin Tuesday evening, January 24th, 2006 at 7PM for a Thursday evening, February 9th, 2006 opening night at 7PM. The limited engagement will continue through Sunday afternoon, March 5th, 2006.

"The Right Kind of People by Charles Grodin is a biting send-up of a fashionable Fifth Avenue co-op board, where issues of race, gender and social status simmer just beneath the surface. This comedy, from the celebrated screen actor who made sarcasm and satire a legendary art, comes to Primary Stages following its world premiere at the Magic Theatre in San Francisco, where it was one of the highest grossing shows in that theatre's 37-year history," according to press notes.

"The David Letterman Show" airs Monday-Friday at 11:35PM.

The Right Kind of People plays the following schedule: Tuesdays at 7pm, Wednesdays through Saturdays at 8pm, Saturday matinees at 2pm and Sunday matinees at 3pm. Single tickets are $60 and may be purchased at the Primary Stages at 59E59 Theaters box office, through Ticket Central online at www.ticketcentral.com or by calling (212) 279-4200.
