They let me be the Porter for the night, but not the Porter’s whole “track.” Just the Porter’s one-on-one with select audience members, which is a very emotional experience, for the performer and the audience member who gets pulled into it. Normally it’s done twice a night. I did it 21 times in one performance. But now I want to learn the whole track, all the dances involved, the Porter’s entire cycle. … One guy was my favorite: I did the whole bit, clutching him and weeping and whispering in his ear, then I pushed him out the door, the way I’m supposed to, and the guy turned and left, the way he’s supposed to. And then he came back and whispered to me, “No one is gonna fuckin’ believe this happened to me.” He was a perfect audience member — he let the one-on-one happen as designed, he was very affected by it while not being overinvolved. And then he came back and said that. That was my favorite moment. Then I went on and performed it for another dozen people.

* My husband Dan mentioned this idea a while back, and the recent “trailer” reminded me of it.
