==As general term==
 
 
 
 
 
The Dutch name for "Amateur Theatre". In adapted form, i.e. as  [[Liefhebbery Toneel]], this was adopted by early [[Afrikaans]]. Later [[Afrikaans]] began to use [[Amateur Toneel]] or [[Amateur Teater]] as terms in general use.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
== Name of a Cape Town theatre ==
 
 
 
 
 
The name was given to a theatre , opened in Hope Street, Cape Town by [[Tot Nut en Vermaak]] in 1825, as an alternative venue to the [[Afrikaansche Schouwburg]]. It was this society's exclusive venue until 1834 (with the exception of sporadic appearances by English companies). Later the children’s dramatic society [[Tot Oefening en Vermaak]] played there (from 1835-1836) and from 1834 to 1838 the venue was also used by [[C.E. Boniface]]'s [[Vlyt en Kunst]]. From 1837, [[Tot Oefening en Vermaak]] played there.
 
 
 
It was later known as both the [[Hope Street Theatre]] and (from 1846, when it was overhauled) the [[Victoria Theatre]], under which names it continued to exist until 1851. It was also briefly known as the [[Sans Souci Theatre]] in 1848, when [[Theatre de L’Union]] played there. The '''Liefhebbery Tooneel''' should however not be confused with another venue also situated in Hope Street, and briefly used in 1849, which was known as [[Haupt’s Warehouse]] or [[Haupt's Theatre]].
