First production ''[[Natuur en Pligt]]'' (Volmeranges) and ''[[De Dronkaard]]'' (Kotzebue) was held on 5 June 1844  in the [[Roeland Street Theatre]].  Unlike the English companies at the time the Dutch allowed actresses in their company.  The company received good reviews throughout 1844/5.  Finally on 2 November 1846 it was announced that the company would stage its last production,  reason being insufficient support from the Dutch community.  ''[[De Baron van Felsheim]]'' (Bernos) and ''[[Uilenspiegel]]'' (Kotzebue) was its last performance.
