Josh Perilo Presents: The Big O

In this, the final episode of Josh Perilo Presents: The Big O, we travel a decade into the future.

John Blackstone, CEO of Omaha’s notorious Blackstone Industries, Incorporated, spends his days wheeling and dealing, while he isn’t juggling his dubious personal life.

While Dane Donaldson leads his son’s WeBLoS Den through their weekly meeting, Dane’s patience with the boys, and his son in particular, wears thinner and thinner.

Bev and the ladies of Holy Name Lutheran Church meet once a week to read from the scriptures, swap lemon square recipes and solve the many problems of their troubled church community.

After a disastrous final dress rehearsal, high school drama teacher Stephen Ferguson reprimands his cast for their lack of discipline and passion.

Stephen Ferguson is back in Omaha from his short-lived stint in New York City and is looking for a local talent manager. He finds Donnie Brickle who promises to give him representation and much, much more.

It’s Deb and Jason’s wedding day. The sky is blue, the flowers are perfect... and The Kirkster is the best man. Kirk “The Kirkster” Blackstone gives his best man speech at the reception with his usual charm and grace, leaving the guests at a total loss for words.

Deb Ferguson is the maid of honor for her childhood friend Adrienne’s wedding. The weekend before the wedding, the girls go out for a night on the town, hosted by Deb. After a few too many drinks, however, Deb begins to open up to the ladies about her past rivalry with her soon to be betrothed friend and, in the Ferguson family tradition, much is said without a whole lot of thought being exercised beforehand.

Stephen Ferguson is in New York City and going out on cattle call auditions. As Stephen stands in line for his first open call in Manhattan‘s Chelsea Studios, he attempts to “size up” a fellow actor and quiz him on his preparation. One terrible conversation choice after another leads Stephen down his well worn path of oblivious tactlessness.

The art department of The University of Nebraska at Omaha is run by tenured art professor Theodore Ferguson. Professor Ferguson’s Intro to Art History class is his yearly chance to take out his bitterness and frustrations with his career on a group of unsuspecting freshmen and sophomores. As the old adage goes: if you can’t do, teach... and if you can’t teach, you’re probably Theodore Ferguson.

Stephen Ferguson is a big fish in the little pond that is the Drama Department at The University of Nebraska at Omaha. Stephen’s only rival, Marcus Samuelson, shows up at Stephen’s annual Drama Department Spring Fling with some shocking news that leads Stephen to make his own even more shocking and life changing split second decision.

The Kirkster has taken over the late-night call in show on the local country station that his father has just purchased. The confused listeners call in expecting sage love advice and country music by request. Instead, they get the worst coke dealer in Omaha. On a late-night call in show. On a country station.

When Stephen meets his old school friend Jason at a party, they both quickly realize that a lot has changed over the years. The two struggle to find a middle ground on which to stand during this painfully awkward reunion.

Pictures, Photos, and More sits at the end of the strip in Regency Court. Tommy, it's proprietor, has just finished a group interview with a number of potential employees, and he's narrowed down his focus to one very promising prospect.

Kirk "The Kirkster" Blackstone is the worst coke dealer in Omaha... and that's really saying something. He also happens to be the son of the most powerful media mogul in the tri-state area. The Kirkster crashes the home of his friend Jason to try and score a favor in the wee hours of the morning, bartering empty promises and poorly cut cocaine along the way.

The only thing Samuel loves more than artisan cheeses from around the world, is talking about artisan cheeses from around the world. With the help of a friend, he scores a coveted gig at the Regency Court Wine Shoppe to do a cheese tasting... but dark clouds loom. An oblivious General Manager and "seriously ungentrified" clientele threaten to undermine Samuel's serious crusade to educate the public about how to properly taste and appreciate artisinal cheese.

Stephen Ferguson is headwaiter at Señor Sushi's Taqueria and Sushi Den in Regency Court, and his tenure is about to end. Stephen is leaving for the "prestigious" Drama Program at the University of Nebraska at Omaha in two months, and tonight he must train the new waiter, Robbie, to take his place.

Donald Baxter Jackson is the host of the late night call in show "Pillow Talk"... for the next couple weeks, at least. Policy changes at the station and ungrateful listeners drive Donald to the brink as he attempts to retain control of the console.
