Many of Shakespeare's plays have prologues before Act 1: Romeo and Juliet, Henry V, Henry IV Part 2, and Pericles among them. You need to specify which play you are talking about.

What does the prologue from shakespeare mean?
A prologue is a speech given before the start of the play. The person delivering the prologue speaks it directly to the audience and never interacts with anyone on stage. Shakespeare sometimes gave the prologue a name (he is the poet Gower in Pericles and the abstraction Rumour in Henry IV Part II) but the prologue is not a character in the play and is not acting a part. Shakespeare occasionally placed prologues at other places in the play. There are several in Henry V, one before Act 2 of Romeo and Juliet, and in A Winter's Tale (which has no prologue at the beginning) Time comes on in the middle and tells the audience that sixteen years have passed and that the baby the audience saw in the last act is now a grown woman.
What is the purpose of a prologue at the beginning of each act in Shakespeare plays?
Oh, dude, a prologue in a Shakespeare play is like the opening act before the main show. It sets the stage, gives you a sneak peek of what's to come, and basically says, "Hey, pay attention, this is gonna be good." It's like the trailer before the movie, but with more fancy language and dramatic flair.

What did it signify when Shakespeare didn't write a prologue to act 3?
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.

Shakespeare wrote prologues to a number of plays in order to set up the action and give a brief description of what the play was going to be about. You can think of them as theatrical trailers if you like. Plays with prologues include Pericles, Troilus and Cressida, Henry VIII, Part II of Henry IV and Romeo and Juliet. The most striking prologue of all is that to Henry V which begins: O for a Muse of fire, that would ascend The brightest heaven of invention, A kingdom for a stage, princes to act And monarchs to behold the swelling scene!

Did shakespeare really write the prologue to Romeo and Juliet There is some question about the authorship since it doesn't appear in the Folio of 1623?
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.
