The Adobe Theater presents Andrew Bergman’s hilarious comedy, Social Security . Familiar actors known to The Adobe audiences are Clair Gardner, Jeffery Siddall, Stephanie Larragoite, Jenny Miller, Joel D. Miller and Jim Pinkston. Trendy Manhattan art gallery owners’ lives are upended when ‘Barbara’s nerdy sister deposits their eccentric mother on the couple's doorstep. They introduce ‘Sophie’ to a suave nonagenarian artist who offers to paint her portrait and soon begins to brighten her life in ways she never expected in her twilight years.

Andrew Bergman is an American screenwriter, film director, novelist and playwright. His best-known films include Blazing Saddles, The In-Laws, The Freshman and Striptease. Social Security was the first play he wrote, starring Marlo Thomas and Ron Silver, which opened on Broadway in 1986. This will be director, Lewis Hauser’s third time directing this play. “It is different for me each time. Social Security is a modern throwback to those great screwball comedies of yesteryear. It is a comedy with heart. In my opinion, all great comedies must have at least one poignant moment. In Social Security it's the budding romance of the older couple, proving that the magic of true love can transform even the most cynical of us into true believers, no matter what the age. The play also happens to be hysterically funny.”
Fridays and Saturdays at 7.30pm, Sundays at 2.00pm. Saturday, March 14, matinee at 2pm only. Thursdays, March 5 and 19 at 7.30pm ($10 tix available).

In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center (IPCC), this exhibition highlights the Center’s history through Pueblo imagery and perspectives of the past, present, and future. A combination of fifty objects from the IPCC’s Collections and Archives, with an emphasis on Pueblo pottery, illustrates the significance of the Center as a gathering place where Pueblo arts and culture are celebrated by visitors from around the world and, at once, nurtured by Pueblo communities across the generations. Gallery videos, updated throughout the year, will feature interviews with Pueblo artists, scholars, and culture bearers that present insider views of the IPCC. Join us to celebrate the exhibition on March 21 from 5-8pm during our free, public reception. Visit indianpueblo.org for 50th anniversary program schedule updates including an exhibit closing event on February 15, 2027.

Organized by the School for Advanced Research (SAR) and the Vilcek Foundation, Grounded in Clay: The Spirit of Pueblo Pottery, a unique traveling exhibition featuring over 100 historic and contemporary works in clay, offers a visionary understanding of Pueblo pots as vessels that carry community-based knowledge and personal experience. The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center (IPCC), established by the 19 Pueblos of New Mexico in 1976, welcomes the pottery vessels back to the Southwest as the “returning home” host venue of the exhibition’s four-year national tour. Curated by the Pueblo Pottery Collective, Grounded in Clay opens at the IPCC as the leading program of the Center’s 50th anniversary celebration year. The exhibition and its associated events are generously supported by the First Nations Development Institute and Noon Whistle Fund.

The Same Place at the Same Time is a series of three exhibition rotations that trace how art lives within, emerges from, and connects Taos’ creative communities. By gathering a varied array of arts—wood-fired ceramics, volunteer radio, and Pueblo foodways—into the rotating gallery space, the exhibition highlights the many interconnected maker groups within our larger Taos community. The inclusion of visual art, music, and food emphasizes the diversity of creativity that constructs thriving cultures and communities.

The exhibition is process-focused and collectively developed, documenting how these groups operate and co-curated by the groups themselves. It explores the wide-ranging organizational structures of these collectives, in turn allowing us to consider how these frameworks influence art making, relationships, and the rich culture of Taos. It asks how we might further nurture this expansive web of connections, both inside and outside of the gallery space.

Harwood Museum of Art is honored to collaborate with local artists, makers, and cultural leaders who shape and define Taos’s remarkable artistic landscape.

Pursuit of Happiness: Gi Bill in Taos refocuses the story of post-World War II artistic movements by highlighting those artists working, communing, and connecting in Taos from 1945 onward. These artists founded the next great wave of abstraction that took root in the region, bringing their vast creativity and international connections to the community. Highlighting works from Harwood Museum of Art’s permanent collection and sourcing significant loans regionally and nationally, this exhibition tells the story of how Taos contributed to conversations and explorations in the national art scene during the post-World War II period.
