<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Founded in the late 19th Century, and became nationally renowned for their musical work, notably their Gilbert and Sullivan productions. In 1909 [[Pieter Pohl]] and [[Hendrik Momberg]] joined them and the society began to include Afrikaans songs, dialogues and even plays in their repertoire (e.g. ''[[Joan Wouters]]'', 1912; ''[[Fijne Beskuite]]'', 1913, ''[[Piet s'n Tante]]'', 1914 and ''[[Die Trouwbelofte]]'', 1914), notably after the failure of the Dutch-language [[Graaff-Reinetse Dramatische Vereniging]] in 1912. They also used Afrikaans performers - such as [[Danie Olivier]] - in their operettas. In 1915 however trouble arose between the Afrikaans and English factions, and a separate new Afrikaans society (Die [[Graaff-Reinetse Letterkundige en Toneel Vereniging]] - "The Graaf Reinet Literary and Theatrical Society" - with Pieter Pohl as chairman) was founded. <br />
<br />
When the '''Graaff-Reinet Amateur Dramatic and Musical Society''' closed down in 19**, they sold their costumes to African Theatres for £2000. <br />
