The Stephen Joseph Studio is a former German Protestant Church, now part of the University of Manchester,[1] in Greenheys, Manchester, England. It used to lie on Wright Street (off Ducie Street),[2] a street which no longer exists (grid reference). It was mentioned in the Manchester Directory for 1858, with the pastor's name H. E. Marotsky (Hermann Eduard Marotsky); it should not be confused with the German Church in John Dalton Street, established by Joseph Steinthal in 1854.[3] It was first occupied by the university in 1949 and had various uses before its use by the Department of Drama.[4]
The main entrance lies on the west side of the building, with a side entrance on the north. The east side features a rose window. The building houses seven lecture rooms, with space for up to 179 students.[5] It is named after Stephen Joseph, the pioneer of theatre in the round. Since the late 1970s the Mansfield Cooper Building has stood to the south-west.
