Disturbed Theatre is the Valley's own sketch comedy troupe.
The whole thing started with one of those chance meetings that often happen to people drawn to theater. Steve Henderson and Rob Murphy were both performing for a production of Northampton Children’s Theater. Steve had written and performed Rumpelstiltskin’s Rebuttal which had both perplexed and delighted a mixed audience of adults and children and which prompted Rob to ask if he was on medication. After passing several drug screens, Rob invited Steve out for a beer and to chat about a germ of an idea of a dream he had of creating a sketch comedy troupe. Steve swears that he really was only hoping for a free beer but “the sketch thing hasn’t been too bad.” Also writing and performing at the Children’s Theater was Bob Flaherty who rounded out the initial trio that was to become Disturbed Theatre. Joining them were Elaine Kabat and Ron Morin forming the original ensemble. That was five years ago. Since that time several performers have appeared in Disturbed Theatre productions including: Frank Aronson, Shaun Barry, Roxanne Labato, David Sullivan, Elaine Kabat (again), Gracie Ganssle, Keith Purcell, Kelsey Flynn, Gregg Wolf, Chris Waldron, Gershon Eigner, Ray Suprenant, Amy Cawley, Candace Scott, Trish Neild, Pete Carlson, Joni Cossaboom, Craig Duda & Jen Wall.
