Hoop en Trouw
Hoop en Trouw ("Hope and Loyalty) was a Dutch amateur company founded in 1848, probably by dissident members of Tot Nut en Vermaak en Door Yver Vruchtbaar. In 1849, the name was changed to Tot Oefening en Vermaak, which virtually coincided with the birth of yet another company, Door Yver Bloeit de Kunst, which was probably also founded by a dissident faction from within Hoop en Trouw. They performed in the Hoopstraat-Skouburg.
