Xscape, an R&B group from Atlanta, Georgia, was formed in 1992 with members Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, Kandi Burruss, LaTocha Scott, and Tamika Scott. Originally a quintet, they became a quartet after Tamera Coggins-Wynn’s departure in 1993. Producer Jermaine Dupri discovered them, signing them to his So So Def label. Their 1993 debut album, Hummin’ Comin’ at ‘Cha, went platinum, launching hits like “Just Kickin’ It.” Their follow-ups, "Off the Hook" (1995) and "Traces of My Lipstick" (1998), produced hits like “Who Can I Run To?” and “My Little Secret.” After disbanding in 1998, members pursued solo careers—Burruss became a successful songwriter, penning hits for TLC. Xscape reunited briefly in 2005 and again in 2017, performing at the BET Awards and Essence Festival. Burruss opted out of new music, leading Tiny, LaTocha, and Tamika to form XSCAP3, releasing the "Here for It" EP in 2018. In 2021, Xscape faced SWV in a Verzuz battle, reviving interest in their music. The Bravo series SWV & Xscape: The Queens of R&B followed in 2023. Despite lineup changes, the group continues to perform, cementing their legacy in R&B.

"Blue Whales: Return of the Giants" takes you on a journey of a lifetime to explore the world of the magnificent blue whale, a species rebounding from the brink of extinction. Blue whales are the largest animals ever to have lived—bigger than any dinosaur—yet we know surprisingly little about them. Blue Whales will transform our understanding of these iconic creatures. The film follows two scientific expeditions: one, a high-risk mission to find a missing population of blue whales not seen in 50 years; and the other, to join Diane Gendron, the “Blue Whale Whisperer,” in Mexico’s Gulf of California, where she and her team explore the important role these remarkable animals play in the health of our oceans. The film provides an unforgettable window into the lives these animals live—and the extremes scientists must endure to study them. Joined by a cast of supporting characters—from dolphins and sperm whales to sea lions and orcas—the blue whale finally gets its turn to be a star. Experience it life-size on the Giant Dome screen! Blue Whales is narrated by award-winning actor Andy Serkis. This film was produced by Oceanic Films with major funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and is the third collaboration between SK Films and HHMI Tangled Bank Studios. One documentary film is included with a Fleet Experience admission ticket. You may purchase a Fleet Experience admission ticket on-line and scan at the Fleet Science Center’s entrance on your date of choice. All documentary films are available on a first-come, first-served basis. No reservations are required. Individual tickets for Blue Whales showtimes are not available. Doors to the theater open approximately 10 minutes prior to showtimes, and no late entry will be allowed once the film has begun. Please note that school groups may be in attendance at 11 a.m. films Monday through Thursday. Visit: https://www.fleetscience.org/films/blue-whales Fleet Science Center on Instagram and Facebook
