City Theatre’s upcoming production of “Emilia” will be an all-female lead cast based on English poet Emilia Lanier, who is believed to be an uncredited author behind some of William Shakespeare’s plays, and is believed to appear as a character in some of his sonnets. Auditions for “Emilia” continue on March 4 and March 5 at 7 p.m. at the PAC’s Art Court Theatre, and performances will begin on Friday, April 26, according to the City Theatre site.
