Glad you stopped by. . .
Feel like stepping out on a Saturday
night?
Our Cabarets have been called unique,
thought-provoking, brave, and heartwarming.
In short, they simply
 
The
Wild Yam Cabaret
has been delighting, exciting, and challenging its audiences for fourteen (!) years. Many of the Twin
Cities' cutting-edge performers have showcased their work at our
Cabaret, and developing artists have found a friendly stage and lots of
support. So grab a friend and come on down for poems,
stories, songs, dance, and other genres too original to easily describe,
all from a woman's point of view, and...WELCOME TO YOUR NEW FAVORITE GIRLS' NIGHT OUT!
(But men like us, and we like them too.)
WANT TO PERFORM WITH US?
We offer
a friendly audience and a chance for you to try
out new stuff, or polish up an old performance. No performing
experience? This is a great way to get it! If you
want to be on a show, we'd like you to check us out first, so you
know what you're getting into. (Don't worry, this isn't
American Idol!)

SO WHAT'S "WILD YAM"?
Wild yam is an herbal
medicine that balances women's hormones, discovered some 60 years ago by
a woman. It is medicine for both PMS and menopausal symptoms.
We hope that the Wild
Yam Cabaret is medicine for the soft side of the soul. We who have
listened and supported in the kitchens, the offices, the hospitals, the
classrooms, often choose to feed everyone but ourselves. But
artists cannot live through others. Creative work nurtures our
souls. The WYC is making a safe place to birth and nurture
emerging artists in our community. Being an artist is not about
being discovered, or waiting to be perfect. It's about
jumping out there, choosing ourselves, so we can learn and become good
at what we do.
DETAILS, DETAILS
Our
"regular" location is the Mad Hatter's Tea House at 945 W. 7th St.
in St. Paul. The Tea House is great fun, and has delightful snacks
and drinks. We are here through the good will of St. Paul
Councilperson Dave Thune and his mother, who have turned the
Teahouse into a lively little community arts center. We
really like this venue--it's in an artsy part of town, and there's some
fine feng shui down by the river. We think you'll like it too.
Take St. Clair Avenue going east to West 7th. Turn right, go over
the bridge, it's about .8 mile past the West 7th/St. Clair
intersection. Look hard, cause their sign's pretty small. It's up
high, black/white, says "art tea." Start looking on your
right once you've gone past the Schmidt Brewery. Here's a
map.
