Tot Nut en Vermaak en Door Yver Vruchtbaar ("For Use and Entertainment and Prolific Through Diligence"), also known as Het Privaat Hollandsch Toneellievend Gezelschap (“The Private Dutch Amateur Company”) was a Dutch amateur company founded in the Cape in 1844 when the two hitherto competing companies, Tot Nut en Vermaak and Door Yver Vruchtbaar joined forces in 1844. Their productions were well-received, but by 1847 their support amongst the Dutch public had waned so far that the company disbanded shortly thereafter. It is likely, however, that the members of this company then formed the core of Hoop en Trouw, which was founded in 1848.
Among their productions were:
De Burgemeester (Von Brühl) and De Bloemenkrans, of De Minnaar in den Boom (Sprong) on 20 October, 1846.
