Summary: RYAN MCCARTAN, star of Fox's "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," is our featured guest this Sunday night! Today's young audiences know RYAN as Diggie from Disney Channel's "Liv and Maddie." Adults know him from his lead role of Brad Majors in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" remake for Fox which aired in 2016. New York audiences know him from his critically acclaimed original performance as JD in the premiere of "Heathers: The Musical" off-Broadway.

The world premiere of the musical "Mutt House" will play at the Kirk Douglas Theatre in Culver City from July 15 through Aug. 5. Previews begin July 10. RYAN will star as quirky outsider Eddie Corbin. Bullied all his life, Eddie has finally found a place to call home in a neglected downtown animal shelter. When the city threatens to close the shelter, Eddie must do something he's never done before - stand up for himself and fight for what's right. With the help of six zany mutts, he faces his fears and makes an unexpected human connection in the process. Also dropping by the show Sunday night is MAHKENNA, singer and DJ. An amazing 16 year old known for her incredible voice and stage presence when she performs, she sounds like a vocal mix of Rihanna and Alessia Cara. Born in Ireland and raised in Southern California, MAHKENNA spent her early years learning and performing music for family and friends. She spent her summers playing fast pitch softball and riding horses, but eventually, began to also watch the Disney channel as well as musicals and became fascinated by acting and performing on stage. She loves to ride horses in her spare time and is always looking to rescue stray animals.
