In Theaters of Elizabethan society what is the time limit of a play?

The audience at an Elizabethan theatre would not have attended before dinner-time, and needed to get home while it was still light. (Seventeenth century London was a dangerous place as soon as dusk settled, and there were no streetlights).
In practice this meant that plays could not be more than about three hours long. Most are considerably shorter (In Romeo and Juliet Shakespeare mentions the two hours' traffic of our stage).

It actually depends. There are school plays. There are youth theaters or young people's theaters, also called children's theaters, throughout the country. Go online to find groups in your area.

You can also follow them on Twitter or other social media, where auditions are also announced.

Since the only people who are "in" a play are the characters and the actors, and since the characters do totally different things depending on which character they are and what play it is, you must mean the actors. What do actors do in Elizabethan plays? They act, of course. Same as any other play.
What is learned about the lives of Elizabethan women presented in Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet'?
Not much. The story is not an English story, and is older than the Elizabethan era. Thirteen-year old girls were not forcibly married in Elizabethan England, nor were they kept cloistered in their parents' house, nor were they Catholics, as everybody in this play is. In other words, the play is useless as a social document about Elizabethan England, but then it is not a social document but a script for an entertainment. A better play to consider life in Elizabethan England is The Merry Wives of Windsor.
