Ovation, America's only arts network, has announced the premiere date for the third season of Frankie Drake Mysteries. The new season will premiere on Ovation on Saturday, April 4th at 7pm ET / 4pm PT, promising a slate of new adventures as the ladies of Drake Private Detectives take on more challenging cases and face off against some impressive foes.

For the last 9 years, performer, music director, and 'cabaret sensation' Chris Tsujiuchi has been trotting out the ugly sweaters, defiling beloved carols and putting on a hell of a show, as his band of merry musicians help him raise the spirit of the season at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre. But, in light of the 10th anniversary of the cabaret, and after 5 years of sold out shows, Tsujiuchi is moving his Christmas extravaganza to the Jane Mallett Theatre, putting him in a position to be seen and heard by a much larger and broader audience! This big, gay Christmas Extravaganza will also function as the official release party for 'A Very Chris-terical Christmas Album'!
