Best Answer

Usually acts are parts of the play that are between intermissions. A one act play does not have an intermission. A two act play has one intermission. A three act play has two intermissions and so on. This was necessary in earlier days to change the scenery on stage while the curtains were closed. An act can have as many scenes as the playwright wants.


Acts can be thought of as chapters and scenes as sections (paragraphs) of that chapter.
