Mr Boucherville (17**-18**) was a Cape Town singer-musician and amateur performer.
Contribution to SA theatre, film, media and/or performance
He apparently did some concerts from time to time, and possibly worked on French performances in the early 1800s. In 1809 he brought together a personal company to perform two French plays, Une Folie (Bouilly) and something by an unnamed author, billed as "La Comédie Universelle, in three acts, interspersed with some songs". Boucherville sold the tickets himself and played the role of "Florival" in Une Folie.
