Monday, the Weekly Volcano's art critic's prose will be read by the Weekly Volcano's theater critic at Creative Colloquay, which was founded by the Weekly Volcano's food critic. The Volcano's 12 pages can't hold these talented folks. The literary event will also feature storytellers Jack Cameron, Titus Burley, J Anne Fullerton and David Mucklow reading from their works. An open mic follows. Talk may be cheap, but Creative Colloquay is free. Step up.

CREATIVE COLLOQUAY, 7 p.m., B Sharp Coffee House, 706 Court C, Tacoma, no cover, 253.292.9969
