A case study approach was used to explore the §interactions of students during an extracurricular §educational theatre production. The investigation §explored the interaction among students and the role §of the play in that interaction. A strong §hierarchical community in the tradition of classroom §educational hierarchy of age order was found as a §hidden curriculum in this activity. Although §hegemony was not an objective of the production, §seniors were granted priority and powerful §leadership positions in lead roles in the play and §in posts of responsibility in work groups. In the §course of rehearsals, age-ranked cliques emerged §causing separation and inequity. Hegemony was §encouraged, enhanced, and developed for the benefit §of senior students by their drama and music §directors. Seniors Rule may indicate how the §hierarchical system is learned and upheld in a §capitalistic society.
