"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.
