About the project
Beyond the Baseline follows two estranged brothers who are thrust back into each other's orbits for a high-stakes exhibition match. Set against the gritty, high-pressure world of competitive sports, the play dissects the toxic nature of sibling rivalry, the weight of parental expectations, and the fine line between passion and obsession. As old wounds resurface, the brothers must face the reality that their final match isn't just about a trophy—it's a brutal reckoning over the shared trauma that tore their family apart.
Roles
- Kiran Hale — Lead · Male · 24-30 · $700 flat rehearsal stipend + $50 per performance
Soren’s younger brother. Free-spirited, charismatic, and seemingly effortless in everything he does. He has spent his life living in his brother's shadow but is ready to step out, even if it breaks the family.
- Soren Hale — Lead · Male · 28-35 · 750 flat rehearsal stipend + $50 per performance.
A fierce, hyper-competitive former tennis prodigy whose career was cut short by injury. Bitter, sharp-tongued, but deeply vulnerable. Must have high physical stamina and comfort moving intensely on stage.
- Coach Marcus "Mac" Thorne — Supporting · Male · 50-65 · $600 flat rehearsal stipend + $45 per performance.
The weathered, no-nonsense coach who trained both brothers. A man of few words but immense presence. He acts as the emotional anchor and referee of the play.
