Tot Oefening en Vermaak ("For Practice and Entertainment") was an amateur dramatic society founded in the Cape in 1837 by some former members of Tot Nut en Vermaak, but the company already disbanded by the next year. The name was used again between 1849 and 1851, when it became the new name for Hoop en Trouw after that too had disbanded.
