How was everyone's Monday? I know Mondays aren't always everyone's favorite day, but just think that soon enough we'll be back to the weekend!
Today is a personal favorite from one of our team members. A great live venue in a pretty fun NY State location! (If you're from the Poughkeepsie area, you will love this.) Today, check out The Chance Theater!
Remember, if you like a venue or have any questions/comments for us, please don't hesitate to contact us at BringBDtoEC@gmail.com and let us know what you think! (Please let us know, we want the boys here just as much as you do!)
We wish all of you yet another week filled with love (and Bonnie Dune!)

History:
Built in 1912, The Chance Theater has had a long history as
a performing arts venue. It was opened as a vaudeville house called the
Dutchess Theatre in 1926. It became the Carol Players Playhouse, then the
Playhouse Theatre in 1928. Showing vaudeville and films at the time, the
theatre introduced silent film in the 1920′s. The venue changed ownership many times throughout the 1920′s and 1930′s. From
1945 to 1970 the building was closed and was used as a storage facility. In
1970 Larry Plover opened the venue as “Sal’s last Chance Saloon”. Plover
turned the old vaudeville theatre into a music venue; welcoming legendary acts
such as The Police, The Ramones, Muddy Waters, Pete Seeger and Charles Mingus.
Closed again in 1977, Peter Francese re-opened the venue in 1980 under the name
“The Chance”. In 1994 current owner, Frank Pallett acquired the legendary music
venue. Pallett has brought acts such as Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Ted Nugent and
countless other contemporary and classic rock bands to Poughkeepsie, NY.
