  More than 30 years ago, Arnowitt-Chamseddine-Nath (ACN) and others
established the compelling framework of supergravity gauge theories (SUGRA) as
a picture for the next step in beyond the Standard Model physics. We review the
current SUGRA scenario in light of recent data from LHC8 collider searches and
the Higgs boson discovery. While many SUSY and non-SUSY scenarios are highly
disfavored or even excluded by LHC, the essential SUGRA scenario remains intact
and as compelling as ever. For naturalness, some non-universality between
matter and Higgs sector soft terms is required along with substantial trilinear
soft terms. SUSY models with radiatively-driven naturalness (RNS) are found
with high scale fine-tuning at a modest ~10%. In this case, natural SUSY might
be discovered at LHC13 but could also easily elude sparticle search endeavors.
A linear e^+e^- collider with \sqrt{s}>2m(higgsino) is needed to provide the
definitive search for the required light higgsino states which are the hallmark
of natural SUSY. In the most conservative scenario, we advocate inclusion of a
Peccei-Quinn sector so that dark matter is composed of a WIMP/axion admixture
i.e. two dark matter particles.
