The Hosanna Performing Arts Foundation is a non-profit organization encouraging Christians and the communication of the gospel of Jesus Christ through the arts.
The foundation was founded in 2005 and has three primary ministries: our annual holiday ballet (based on THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE by C.S. Lewis copyright © C.S. Lewis Pte. Ltd. 1950), the Hosanna Youth Performers (HYPe), and Dance Veritas.
