Richard Centing, taking an early retirement option from his position with the English Theater and Communication Library at the Ohio State University, took the time to send descriptions and publicity materials for two related Mamet events at OSU, both including productions and interesting panel discussions. Such linkage of Mamet's work and critical discussion seems increasingly common. The first of these particular examples, "Introducing Mamet," on Jan. 31, 1995, centered on The Ohio State University Theatre Company's productions of scenes from Speed-the-Plow and Glengarry Glen Ross and also featured a screening of House of Games. Moderated by Esther Beth Sullivan of Ohio State's Department of Theater, a panel including Katherine Burkman and Alan Woods (English and Theatre, respectively, at Ohio State) and Ann Hall (English, Ohio Dominican College) responded to the Mamet plays and film and led lively discussion. The evening concluded with Speed-the-Play by David Ives, with actors from the OSU Theatre Company presenting a "great" satire, according to Centing, "like the five-minute Hamlets that actors sometimes do."

Again at OSU's Wexner Center for the Arts, on Feb. 10, 1995, The Back Bay Theater Company presented Oleanna. A session titled "Talk-Back" followed the production, with facilitators including professionals from OSU's Human Resources, Student Services, and Student Health Services, as well as OSU theater professor Beth Sullivan, an attorney, and a psychologist. On Feb. 15, a second panel discussion, "Sexual Harassment—Is It Academic?," concluded the program, led by Camille Hebert, OSU professor of law, and featuring two other attorneys, a psychologist, and the former director of Ohio's ACLU.
