The Chance is a concert and theater complex located in downtown Poughkeepsie, New York.

The complex consists of four rooms: the Chance Theater, which is the primary concert hall; The Loft, a smaller upstairs concert hall; The Platinum Lounge, a downstairs bar-nightclub; and The Nuddy Irishmen, a downstairs cafe-bar.

It primarily featured older silent films in its early days.

The theater closed in 1945, but reopened once more in 1970 when Larry Plover turned the film stages into a music venue named Frivolous Sal's Last Chance Saloon.

[1] The theater now has its own radio show, which airs internationally on iHeartRadio and local dial WBWZ.
