What I think she is saying...

...in her hyperbolic way (and certainly, no one here on All That Chat should be unfamiliar with hyperbole) is that she had learned to give the kind of performance that exhausted her energy after three performances (and, presumably, a week or more of tech). She had not learned to budget physical resources or developed the stamina for a longer run. And while she may be over stating that the show literally fell apart on performance #4, the point is that there is a difference in giving an full-out performance for a one week engagement full of your peers and professors and a much longer professional run. An analogy--I am a physician. In residency, we were trained to see far fewer patients / day than professional physicians see. This allows for learning the skills needed to be competent and the supervision to be safe and thoughtful and creative. In the first month of general practice, many new physicians find themselves exhausted, over-whelmed, even suffer breakdowns because the work load ramps up so quickly. It's not the doctoring skills that are now needing work, it's the stamina and self-care that comes on-the-job. Some, however, in both professions, either have taken the time to develop stamina or had the experience before or are less burdened by the work and do not have these experiences. But, many do.
