"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."

So, they were trained and prepared to do only three performances of any given play -- and as soon as they got to the fourth show, their performances "fell apart?" What an outrageous statement -- part and parcel of so much else in that book.

Aside from everything else that's wrong with the statement, perhaps she should only have spoken for herself. I think it's reasonable to assume that at least some of the other members of the company didn't feel their performances "fell apart" after three shows.
