'I fired Drake from Fiddler on the Roof'
Ariella Getrajhendler has a special place in Drake's heart. She was his drama teacher in junior high. She also taught him a valuable lesson about hard work and commitment when she fired him from Fiddler on the Roof.
Ariella Getrajhendler has a special place in Drake's heart.
The junior high teacher taught pre-teen Aubrey "Drake" Graham his favourite subjects: singing, acting and dance.
Every year, she put on a big musical and Drake — who could act and sing like a professional from a very young age — was always a shoo-in for a lead role.
But Getrajhendler had one simple rule: miss three rehearsals and you're out. So when Drake started skipping Fiddler on the Roof rehearsals... she had to fire him.
