The Ohio outdoor drama Blue Jacket, staged at Caesar's Ford Park, faces sagging attendance and will seek local contributions from Dayton and Montgomery County to continue next summer. First Frontier Inc laid off key staff as costs rise, with attendance down to about 37,000 from a peak of 50,000 and funding cut in half after last year’s subsidies failed to meet matching requirements.
