Inter-mission is a term commonly used to refer to the break between two parts of a play, concert, or other performance. While this term is widely used, there are several synonyms that can be used in its place. One such synonym is interlude, which refers to a brief pause or break in an activity. Another synonym is interval, which is used to describe the space or period of time between two events or performances. A third synonym is intermission itself, which simply means a temporary interruption or pause. Finally, the term entr'acte can also be used, which is French for "between the acts" and refers to the pause between two parts of a theatrical performance.
