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!)  For more information, send us a note!

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.
