Do you have a great idea for a TV show, but you’re not sure how to get it on the page? Do you have a script in the drawer that’s begging to be finished, but something just isn’t quite right?
Throughout the year, Augsburg University and Playwrights’ Center, a Twin-Cities-based national organization supporting playwrights and new play development, partner to offer online, accredited playwriting and television-writing courses, taught by today’s leading writers in the field to students all over the country.
This three-hour weekly class is designed as an online workshop for students who are interested in learning the art and craft of writing for television. Students will study the fundamentals of professional writing for broadcast, cable, and digital platforms. They will explore the principles of television series creation by developing a compelling premise and executing a viable, character-driven pilot script.
Registration for this course is processed through the Schwartz School of the Arts. Please reach out to creativearts@augsburg.edu with your interest.

Our annual event, Rise & Remember Festival, exists to hold in remembrance George Floyd and those we have lost unjustly to the pervasive impacts of systemic racism. Activities focus on education, empowerment, healing, celebration, and our collective pursuit for racial justice and equity. Through Rise & Remember Festival, we will host a candlelight vigil, a Night of Honor, and the street festival that continues to highlight the role of community-rooted healing and art as activism. Our vision is that this experience inspires people to rise to the occasion to come together in community and build racial justice and equity.
