About this listen

Henry and Nomi are thrilled to find out they’re going to be parents. There is so much to think about, so many decisions they’ll need to make, about feeding schedules and childcare and schools. But there’s one decision they never would have imagined facing, and even considering the choice is a minefield of emotions and experiences and expectations.

After all, the only thing that hangs in the balance is the course of their child’s life.

Would You Like to Choose the Race? is written by Arvind Ethan David and stars Christine Elmore as Nomi Cook and Adam Campbell as Henry Cook.

Earworms is a series of short speculative-fiction dramas–tales of what might have been...or might yet be...or perhaps in fact are, if only you were paying attention...if only you were listening.

About the Performer

Film, television, and theatre actor Christina Elmore has quickly proven herself to be one of the most versatile and talented actresses in the industry. With an undergraduate degree from Harvard University and an MFA in acting from American Conservatory Theater, Christina has lent her talents to both stage and screen.

The actress can recently be seen as Condola on HBO’s critically acclaimed series Insecure, for which she was nominated for an NAACP Image Award. After five seasons as a series regular on TNT's hit series The Last Ship, Elmore went on to star as Marie in Lena Waithe's Twenties on BET. The show follows three friends as they chase their dreams in Los Angeles and try to figure out life, love, and the professional world.

Up next, Elmore will appear in Girls on the Bus from HBO. The show follows four female journalists who follow the every move of a parade of flawed presidential candidates, finding friendship, love, and a scandal that could take down not just the presidency but our entire democracy along the way.

Other film and television credits include Ryan Coogler's Fruitvale Station, HBO’s Lady Bouncer, and CBS’s pilot Under the Bridge. On stage, Christina has portrayed iconic roles such as Juliet at Los Angeles Shakespeare Company and Monique in the world premiere of Adam Rapp's The Purple Lights of Joppa Illinois at South Coast Rep. Christina is repped by SDB Partners, Odenkirk Provissiero, Attorneys John Meigs and Mahid Salahi, and The Lede Company.

Deconstruction of the notion of race was mostly well done except for outdated terminology like slaves and slave owners. Also Biracial kids who have parents who make racial jokes like the dad does about Native Americans sometimes struggle and feel like they’re a joke so maybe don’t gloss over the impact of Henry doing that in the beginning. . Other than that, well done.

Thought provoking with many strengths and a few weaknesses.
