About Honolulu Theatre For Youth
Honolulu Theatre For Youth, doing business as Chicken Skin T-Shirts, is a Honolulu-based nonprofit organization that receives federal grant funding from the National Endowment for the Arts to develop and produce theatrical productions for young audiences and community engagement. The organization operates as a prime recipient on NEA project grants, with 95% of its federal award footprint consisting of direct grants rather than subcontracted work.
Honolulu Theatre For Youth's grant portfolio focuses on culturally grounded theatrical works for young audiences. Recent NEA-funded productions include HAPA: The Musical (2026), which explores mixed cultural identity; Joseph Kekuku and the Olelo of the Hawaiian Steel Guitar (2025), a collaborative work with Moses Goods, Noa Gardner, and the Kealakai Center for Pacific Strings; The Great Race: The Story of the Chinese Zodiac (2024); and Peter Pop Pan, a devised musical for young audiences (2023). In 2022, the organization received two separate NEA grants: one for $100,000 to support facility expenses in response to COVID-19 pandemic recovery, and another to support development and production of Imi A Loaa, an original site-specific ensemble theater work. All grants operate under the Promotion of the Arts Grants to Organizations and Individuals program (CFDA 45.024), with individual project grants running on annual cycles from January through December.
The organization's customer concentration is entirely concentrated: the National Endowment for the Arts accounts for 95% of awards (20 prime grants). Activity has remained episodic at low frequency — two awards in 2022, one award each in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and two awards in 2026 — with a combined $2 million obligated across all awards since 2007. One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Honolulu Theatre For Youth also appears in a single subgrant role: a Shakespeare in American Communities apprenticeships sub-grant awarded in May 2026, representing the organization's minor exposure as a sub-recipient. The organization's federal footprint is entirely NEA-driven, with no contract vehicles, no prime contracts, and no multi-agency customer relationships; its relevance to federal contracting is limited to arts-sector grant activity.
