Stars come out for annual Banned in Boston event

BOSTON (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - A who's who of local politicians and celebrities let loose in Boston tonight for the 15th annual Banned in Boston fundraiser for Urban Improv.

Urban Improv used improvisational theater to promote positive youth development for violence prevention.

Stars and politicians mixed together as “actors” and spoofed all of the year's biggest headlines.

Tom Hamilton of Aerosmith, Governor and Mrs. Deval Patrick Mayor Tom Menino, Boston City Council President Mike Ross and Pulitzer Prize winning author Doris Kearns Goodwin were just some of the big names that came out for the event.
