There's also this (page 54):
The touring aspect, being on the road for months at a time, was totally new to us and we were in for some big lessons. We lost several bookings our first year because our training at school only prepared us for three performances of the play we'd been rehearsing. That's all we ever did. On the road when we got to the fourth performance of any given show, our performances fell apart. We weren't taught to maintain a characterization or a show. We basically stunk, while we behaved like spoiled brats out of some fancy acting school.
So apparently what she says about training is "it doesn't help with preparing for long runs."
