At just 17, Thea Ward is doing what most dream of—lighting up the stage while acing her final year of school. In this episode of Behind the Spotlight, we dive into the life of a young powerhouse who’s rewriting what it means to be an artist on the rise. From Legally Blonde to The Crucible, Thea brings depth and fire to every role she touches—all while navigating HSC exams and tight rehearsal schedules.
