You're much better off doing the second, because you'll be catching Fred Rochlin's acclaimed solo, Old Man in a Baseball Cap, covering his life as a World War II fighter pilot.

Young "Rockets" was stationed in Italy and at one point had to parachute from his bomber into enemy territory. The 400-kilometer, 31-day trek saw Rochlin developing a relationship with his local guide, who yearns for a rich American husband. Another true sequence recalls Rockets delivering a baby by Caesarean section only hours before being given orders to bomb a Hungarian village that was, mistakenly, thought to be a military target.

The 74-year-old Rochlin has already performed Baseball Cap at the Actors Theatre of Louisville's Flying Solo Festival and Sacramento's B Street Theatre.

For tickets ($15-$20) to the one-night-only presentation of Old Man in a Baseball Cap at the Emelin Theatre on Library Lane, call (914) 698-0098. -- By David Lefkowitz
