The Oklahoma City Theatre Company is accepting submissions of original plays for its 2013 Native American New Play Festival. The deadline is Feb. 15.

The selected plays will be presented at the fourth annual festival, April 11-21, in a readers theater format, each open to the public. One play will be selected from the finalists for a fully-staged production at the 2014 festival.

The next festival will feature the play Chalk in the Rain by Bret Jones, panel discussions with playwrights and artists, art exhibitions, storytelling events, Native American cuisine and more. The Native American New Play Festival is scheduled to be held at the Oklahoma City Civic Center Music Hall.

Scripts submitted for the staged readings must be for a full-length play. Previously produced plays will not be considered. Finalists will be announced in March.
