The Strand Theatre received approval Tuesday morning from the Board of Works to have two food trucks operating on April 15 in support of comedian Donnie Baker’s two shows.

The food trucks will set up in the parking spaces just south of the marquee of the Strand Theatre, located at 215 S. Harrison St.

The first show at 7 p.m. on April 15 is sold out, according to David Finkel of the Strand. The second show follows at 9:30 p.m.

The event brings several people from out of town to the shows, according to Finkel, and a large audience usually is waiting outside the theatre as the first show ends.

The food trucks also will service the large crowd exiting the theatre from the first show.

Finkel also pointed out that downtown restaurants and entertainment establishments have been notified of the event and will be prepared for the potential of larger than normal crowds on the night of the event.

In other board business Tuesday, the board approved a request to appear for the owner of 124 E. Taylor St., which has been deemed a nuisance property based on its appearance.

The property is owned by K Bar Investments out of Sugar Land, Texas.
