Mt . Lebanon resident Patrick Daniels has completed an exciting project that may interest literary and music enthusiasts alike .

These performances were accompanied by music , sound effects and natural sounds to enhance the experience and deepen the meaning of the sonnets .
The audio project is available for free on streaming platforms like Spotify and Amazon Music . Daniels hopes the project will inspire others and showcase the talents of the local actors involved . n
