The Olaf Wieghorst Museum presents Larry Maurice – the Cowboy Entertainer – for a one man show on September 12, 2026 in Downtown El Cajon. Rarely in Southern California, Larry brings his classic frontier humor to a contemporary audience. Much like 19th-century humorist Mark Twain, Larry Maurice uses storytelling, verse, and oral history to preserve the culture of the American West. Using minimalist staging, Larry’s personal charisma, vocal modulation, and timing to holds his audience. His stories of the Old West blend historical education with entertainment. Beyond the stage, Larry has been an author, a poet, a rodeo announcer, a master of ceremonies and a historical advocate. He was named Cowboy Poet of the Year and received the American Cowboy Culture Award. You have heard him at the Lone Pine Film Festival, the Autry Museum and on television specials for the FOX network.
