Spanish Theatre Drama Coming to Alder!** 🇪🇸 We're thrilled to welcome the **Onatti Theatre Company** to school on **Monday 8 June** for a hilarious and interactive performance of **"Un Ensayo Desastroso" (A Disastrous Rehearsal)**. **📖 The Story:** In a small-town theatre in Spain, auditions are underway for Romeo y Julieta. Actress Verónica is NOT happy about missing out on the lead role! Meanwhile, super-keen stage manager Cassy is trying to keep the chaos under control… though she secretly dreams of being centre stage herself. When the rest of the Spanish cast goes missing, Cassy enlists help from the audience - **yes, that means our students!** They'll be encouraged to deliver lines, play characters, and even make sound effects in this wildly funny rehearsal full of flubbed lines, forgotten props, and theatrical meltdowns. **Will Verónica share the spotlight? Will Cassy get her big moment? Can our students save the show?** 🎬 **Why it's brilliant for learning:** ✨ See Spanish used in real-life situations ✨ Challenge listening skills in a fun, interactive way ✨ Get inspired about Spanish language and culture **📅 When:** Morning of Monday 8 June 2026 **👥 Who:** Years 8 & 10 Spanish students **💷 Cost:** £3 voluntary donation via ParentPay **Please note:** If we don't receive enough voluntary contributions, the performance won't be able to go ahead. Let's bring Spanish to life! 🌟 [![](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/imagecache/100x100c/events/Parents_Evening_Reminder_(4).png)](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/events/2026-04-23-year-10-parents-evening) Previous ### [Year 10 Parents' Evening](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/events/2026-04-23-year-10-parents-evening) [![](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/imagecache/100x100c/APCN_logo(1).png)](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/events/2026-06-11-alder-parent-community-network-meeting) Next ### [Alder Parent Community Network Meeting](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/events/2026-06-11-alder-parent-community-network-meeting) ### School Life - [Alder Parent Community Network](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/school-life/APCN) - [Calendar](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/calendar) - [Communication](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/school-life/communication) - [Events](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/events) - [The School Day](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/school-life/the-school-day) - [Term Dates](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/termdates) - [School Uniform and Equipment](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/school-life/uniform-and-equipment) - [School Attendance](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/attendance) - [School Meals](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/school-life/school-meals) - [The School Bus](https://tfgm.com/schools/tameside/alder-community-high-school) - [KS4 Exam Information and Revision](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/exam-revision) - [KS3 Key to Success](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/ks3) - [Alder Library](https://uk.accessit.online/ald02/#!dashboard) - [Food Technology Practical Ingredients](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/food-technology) - [School Closure Information](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/school-life/school-closure-information) - [Year 6 Transition](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/transition) - [ParentPay](https://app.parentpay.com/public/client/security/v2/#/login) - [Exam Results ](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/exam-results) - [![Rainbow Flag Award](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/images/partners/Untitled_design_(1).png)](https://www.rainbowflagaward.co.uk/) - ![AcSEED](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/images/partners/Untitled_design_(2).png) - ![CPOMS Student Safe](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/images/partners/Cpoms_student_safe.png) - ![CPOMS Staff Safe](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/images/partners/Cpoms_staff_safe.png) - [![ParentPay](https://files.schudio.com/alder-community-high-school/images/partners/Untitled_design_(4).png)](https://www.parentpay.com/) ##### Location Mottram Old Road Gee Cross Hyde Greater Manchester SK14 5NJ ##### Contact Us 0161 368 5132 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/AlderCommunityHigh/) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPHzqAhyNS44u4g5Tk20eWA) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/alder-community-high-school) © Copyright 2018–2026 Alder Community High School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://aldercommunityhighschool.org.uk/img/logo/dark.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
