The absence of a prologue in Act 3 of Shakespeare's plays often signifies a shift in tone or a deepening of the dramatic action. It may indicate that the narrative is moving into a more intense or pivotal phase, allowing the audience to engage directly with the unfolding events without a prefatory summary. This choice can heighten the sense of immediacy and immersion in the characters' conflicts and developments. Additionally, it reflects Shakespeare's ability to trust his audience to follow the story without the need for further exposition.

It is true that the famous prologue does not appear in the Folio version of Romeo and Juliet. It does, however, appear in the Quarto versions of 1599, 1609 and 1622 in the form we know it, and in the first Quarto of 1597 in somewhat garbled form. In all of the Quarto versions, the Prologue is printed on a separate page before the play starts, and the printer may just have missed it when setting the type. I've included a link to a facsimile of Q2 so you can see what I mean. Since it is included in all Quarto versions of the plays, and the prologue to Act 2 is not omitted in the Folio, it's probably reasonable to assume that the omission of the general prologue is a printer's error, and was a genuine part of the play.
if you want to add atmosphere to the story, and make the reader want to read on to understand it and to know what has actually happened to the characters if it is a dramatic prologue, then i think a prolougue is a good idea. You can write a prologue for any length of story - long or short.

It was his job, or one of his jobs. Shakespeare was paid to write plays.
In school perhaps. But Shakespeare was not forced to write after he left school. Most actors were not also playwrights. But since Shakespeare could write and was very good at it, and was paid to do it, why not?
