  • Name: Harris, Thomas
  • Gender: Male
  • Birth Date:
  • Death Date: 1  October  1820
  • Occupation: theatre manager

Harris replaced George Colman the Elder as manager of Covent Garden theatre in 1774. He remained manager until his death in 1820. He had a number of dealings with Godwin regarding the latter's plays but he never accepted any of them for performance.

Only those instances of Harris which can be definitely taken to be Thomas have been coded. There are a number of Harris's which may be Thomas Harris but due to 1) the common nature of the surname and 2) the fact that there are instances of Harris which post-date his death, these have been left uncoded.
