The Search Party YVR

A Vancouver based theatre company committed to a strong cohesion between text and design.

06/08/2026

Mindy was in Montreal recently for the reading of a brand new translation, commissioned by The Search Party 🎭

“Ce Qui Se Sont Évaporés”, originally by Rébecca Déraspe, has been translated by Leanna Brodie. It was amazing to have the initial workshop in Montreal where the text originated. What a gift it was to have these incredible artists work on the play and to meet Rébecca - who is a phenom!

“Those Who Have Evaporated” asks the question - what would inspire a woman to evaporate from her own life? The play follows Emma, a seemingly ordinary woman who vanishes, leaving behind her job, partner, family, and child.

Next steps - a design and second draft workshop is planned for February, with a hope to produce! 🔥

Coming to The Cultch this fall 👀 ’JOB’ - a psychological thriller that examines what it means to be a citizen of the internet.

Jane, an employee at the big tech company (you know the one), has been placed on leave after becoming the subject of a viral video. She arrives in the office of a crisis therapist – Loyd – determined to be reinstated to the job that gives her life meaning. A psychological thriller, JOB zooms in on two careerists of different generations, genders and political paradigms to examine what it means to be a citizen of the internet and our obligation to help the people who need it most.

Starring Brian Markinson and Elizabeth Barrett, directed by Mindy Parfitt.

September 29 - October 11th at the Historic Theatre.

Not to be missed! 🔥 Mark it in your calendars - or better yet, get yourself a ticket at the link below and lock it in:

We love a TSP artist moment, and Jess McLeod is currently having approximately ~ several ~ of them.

Fresh off ‘People, Places & Things’ at , Jess’ career is now popping off on-screen. Check it out:

🔥 ’She’s Nonbinary’— a short film Jess directed, wrote, produced, and starred in — heading to
🔥 ’The Audacity’ — Jess rocks a pink mullet and an impressive piercing situation in this new AMC series from a writer/producer of ‘Succession’
🔥’Normal’ — Jess as ‘Alex’ in this feature — in theatres now across the USA
🔥’Teenage S*x and Death at Camp Miasma’ — with Gillian Anderson & Hannah Einbinder, Jess playing ‘Tracy’ — premiering at

Basically, pick a film festival or open any streaming platform and you’ll find Jess. We couldn’t be more proud — and we cannot wait to see what’s next! 🤩
