THE BEHAVIOR OF BROADUS tells the incredible sort-of-true story of John Broadus Watson, father of Behaviorism and modern advertising. He has the power to control your brain. Indeed, we suspect he's making you read this right now. Capital Stage will venture into the realm of musical theatre with this Mad Men-esque dark comedy that puts the origins of our pop-culture consumerist society under a satirical magnifying glass.
