In Maid to Order: The Pre-Code Career of Theresa Harris, Wren T. Brown examines the steady but constrained early career of Theresa Harris, a Black actress who appeared in thirty-five pre-Code films — in roles such as maids, domestics, or other service figures. This presentation examines how race, gender, and the studio system converged to foreclose on Theresa Harris’s artistic ambition.
Actor/Producer/Director Wren T. Brown is a fourth-generation Angeleno, descended from a long line of talented performers. His family's theatrical legacy can be found on the pages of Wren's recently published book, The Family Business: Four Generations of One Black Family's Artistic Odyssey.
