EVERETT SQUARE THEATRE OWNER UPSET WITH CONLEY: The owner of the Everett Square theatre appears to be annoyed with Suffolk District Dan Conley, putting out a statement asking him to stop using the theatre in a mailer of his. Pat Tierney, the owner, said Conley has had little to do with the theatre and instead credited District 5 Councillor Rob Consalvo and Mayor Thomas Menino. "Dan Conley has never asked or received permission to use my theatre in his publications. I would like him to stop using my theater as a prop for his misleading campaign pitch, " she said in a statement posted on the theatre’s website. She is the mother of Maura Tierney, an actress who is backing Consalvo and maxed out to his campaign in July.
