Thea grew up in a small village surrounded by forests close to Eisenach in Thuringia/Germany. She spent one year in the United States and returned to study acting at the University of Arts Berlin. She is known to play multilayered characters and often roles requiring subtle or dry comedy. She created and directed a miniseries pilot about a midwife called ’38something’ which is now on festival tour. She also regularly performs in stage productions.
