The American Guild of Musical Artists (AGMA) and local labor allies protested the Dallas Black Dance Theatre’s (DBDT’s) season opener Friday over the sudden termination of nine main-company members this summer. This union-busting move by the DBDT came after performers unanimously voted to join AGMA in May. Members and supporters rallied outside Moody Performance Hall with an inflatable Scabby the Rat and called for attendees to join them on the picket line.
