PITTSFIELD — The third time is indeed the charm for Pittsfield-born-and-raised playwright Arlene Jaffe. Twice before — in 2016 and again in 2018 — she submitted her short play, “Anything You Want,” to Barrington Stage Company’s annual 10X10 New Play Festival. Twice before, she was rejected. This year, Jaffe’s time has come.
