Originally developed as part of the Hyde Park Theatre's HPT Play DRS development reading series for new plays, The Evidence of Silence Broken had its critically-acclaimed world premiere at the Pillsbury House Theatre in Minneapolis in 2003.

A member of the 2004 Austin Slam Team, Zell is also featured in the soon-to-be released feature documentary on slam poetry, Slam Planet: War of Words. The Evidence of Silence Broken will be included in an anthology on hip-hop theater by Theater Communication Group this fall.
