Acerca de esta escucha

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

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Deconstruction of the notion of race was mostly well done except for outdated terminology like slaves and slave owners.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.

Succinct, yet laden with a powerful, thought-provoking narrative. As the construct of race continues to plague our existence, this helped me look-see-imagine what we can potentially become as a species. Le sigh...

A possible near future that chooses hope over despair, bridges instead of isolation. Moore has always been my favorite narrator and she shines, here.

This short story has an interesting concept. I appreciated the ending but could also understand how it could’ve been different.

This story line and presentation is amazing. I love how such a dynamic topic is put into morsels and very palatable.

I’ve enjoyed other works by this author. This selection is an allegory about science and race. A mixed race couple learn they have the ability to choose the race of their child. This leads to uncomfortable discussions about race and heritage. Frankly it should’ve happened before they got married. As a childfree woman, this one bored me. The work is trying to be different and make people think, yet still panders to women baring children. A number of countries are learning that many women aren’t interested in have kids for a number of reasons. Cast was stellar, though parts were questionable.
Would love to see titles about men and women who don’t want kids.

Even though it’s a short story, the depth that you are asked to think surprised me.

Beautifully executed leftist propaganda😢
I would have loved someone less American to speak truth to these American stupidities regarding race. This remained firmly within their racial framework.
