Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin and rocker Tom Hamilton as Abigail and John Adams. (JONATHAN WIGGS/GLOBE STAFF)
Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton will be John Adams to Pulitzer-winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin’s Abigail at this weekend’s “Banned in Boston.” The duo gave photographers a sneak peek yesterday of their skit that is part of the annual spoofy variety show held to raise money for Urban Improv, a violence prevention program for children and teenagers. Because Avalon, the revue’s traditional spot, is closed for renovations, the show has been moved to MIT’s Kresge Auditorium. Joining a traditional cast of local boldface names will be two new actors, MIT president Dr. Susan Hockfield and Harvard president Drew Gilpin Faust.
