That's PRD takes a look at the best of the week:
October 30-31: Halloween Parties and Events

November 1: Movember 'Shave-Down' Fundraiser Party
Party crawlers, moustache lovers and do-gooders alike will enjoy this Movember bash sponsored by That's PRD and others, with proceeds going toward a good cause. In case you're not familiar with the concept, male Movember participants grow out their facial hair in order to promote awareness and fundraise for mens' health issues. This event will help Movember-ers get a clean start with a fresh shave on the first of the month. Others can also get in on the fun with beer and fake mustaches in exchange for a RMB50 donation.
Nov 1, 7-11pm; RMB50 donation. Dolores Park. See event listing.
November 1-2: Manual Cinema Presents 'ADA/AVA'
This immersive work weaves together traditional drama – live actors and musicians – with cinematic elements like projectors and shadow puppets. The resulting, award-winning show tells the story of the elderly Ava, whose twin Ada has passed away. A trip to the mirror maze at a carnival results in supernatural surprises, however, and Ava soon finds herself revisiting the loss of her twin.
