Pantomime (informally panto) is a type of musical comedy stage production designed for family entertainment. It was developed in England and is still performed throughout the United Kingdom, generally during the Christmas and New Year season and, to a lesser extent, in other English-speaking countries.
An act is a division or unit of a theatre work, including a play, film, opera, and musical theatre. The term can either refer to a conscious division placed within a work by a playwright (usually itself made up of multiple scenes) or refer to a unit of analysis for dividing a dramatic work into sequences. The former use of the term may or may not align with the latter.
Though there are no limits to the number of acts which might exist within a dramatic work, the most common structures are the three act structure and five act structure. Both of these are derived from different interpretations of Aristotle's The Poetics in which he stresses the primacy of plot over character and 'an orderly arrangement of parts'.
The work of William Shakespeare, for example, generally adheres to a five act structure whereas contemporary theatre, in line with screenwriting and novel forms, tends towards a three act structure.
The word act can also be used for major sections of other entertainment, such as variety shows, television programs, music hall performances, and cabaret.
