 Formed in 1844 from the amalgamation of the two companies [[Tot Nut en Vermaak]] and [[Door Yver Vruchtbaar]], the company  began to perform under the combined motto of "[[Tot Nut en Vermaak en Door Yver Vruchtbaar]]", by which name they were to become known for a brief period.
-Unlike the English companies at the time the [[Dutch]] allowed actresses in their company.  They were very active in 1844-45, then slightly less so in 1846, before picking up again in their final year. It's productions were normally well-received,  with good reviews throughout 1844/5, but by 1847 their support amongst the [[Dutch]]-speaking public had unfortunately waned to such an extent that the company disbanded shortly thereafter. It is likely, however, that the members of this company went on to form the core of [[Hoop en Trouw]], which was founded in 1848.

 Finally on 2 November 1847 it was announced that the company would stage its last production,  reason being insufficient support from the [[Dutch]] community.  They performed ''[[De Baron van Felsheim]]'' (Bernos) and ''[[Uilenspiegel]]'' (Kotzebue) on this occasion.
