Sarah Steele’s Photo Stash! The Country House Star Shows Off Her Spicy Tea, Creature Comforts & More

The Country House star Sarah Steele is giving us an all-access pass! In the heartfelt and humorous new play by Donald Margulies, The Good Wife star and Spanglish alum plays Susie Keegan, the precocious granddaughter of theater legend Anna Patterson (Blythe Danner). We asked Steele to snap a few photos of her favorite things backstage at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre. Check out the delicious tea she sips before she takes the stage, her favorite crew member and more below, then see the MTC's The Country House on Broadway through November 23rd!


My favorite thing in my dressing room
"Nothing screams 'Broadway' like Kate Jennings Grant's kimono."


My favorite co-star
"My dressing room mate, the fabulous Kate Jennings Grant!"


My favorite post-show snack
"Candy from our dressing room candy drawer."


The crew member who saves my ass
"Matthew, who races up the stairs to hand me my iPod before my first entrance every night. I always forget it!"


My view from the stage
"This is what the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre looks like before the house opens."


My favorite spot in the theater
"I love hanging out backstage, behind the house where the trees are."


My must-have pre-show item
"The amazing honey ginger tea with cayenne pepper that our lovely stage management team makes every night."


My good-luck charm
"Susie's bracelets. I play with them onstage when I'm nervous."


My favorite costume piece
"My 'Creature of the Night' t-shirt."
