What does it mean? "I did an under 5 on all my children"

Ok, I will explain the context. An actress is having an audition and the man asks to her: "tell me something about you".
And she replies: "I did an under 5 on all my children. I have 2
commercials running. I toured in taming of the shrew."

Does it make sense? I guess "All my Children" refers to that TV series, but what's "under 5"?? Also, what's "I toured in taming of the shrew"?

Thanks in advance.

I seem to remember that if an actor/actress has 5 or more lines, they get paid differently according to union rules. " The Taming of the Shrew is a well-known play. The play was performed in a number of different cities.

  • I seem to remember that if an actor/actress has 5 or more lines, they get paid differently according to union rules.
  • " The Taming of the Shrew is a well-known play.
  • The play was performed in a number of different cities.
  • The same group would do the play a few times (say, for two or three weeks) in one theater in one city, pack up and move to another city, and repeat.
  • This compares to a play that is one theater in New York City (or elsewhere) for years and years.
