Falls Church’s long-awaited Paragon Theaters at Founders Row will open to the public Thursday, May 22, launching with screenings of “Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning” and “Lilo & Stitch.”

The new theater at 112 Founders Ave. will feature seven screens and more than 600 seats. Paragon also plans a community open house during the week of its May 22 ribbon-cutting ceremony and invitation-only opening party.

Before opening day, the company will hold a career fair from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, April 26, at the theater. Available positions include runners, concession workers, guest services attendants, bartenders and kitchen staff.

Paragon is offering part-time, full-time and seasonal positions to applicants age 16 and older. Advertised benefits include free movies, flexible schedules, advancement opportunities and discounted food and drinks. Those unable to attend the career fair may apply through Paragon’s employment website.

The Founders Row cinema will include Lux Box dine-in seating in private enclaves with heated, zero-gravity recliners. Each seat will have a private table and QR code allowing guests to order food and beverages for delivery during a movie.

Its centerpiece will be the Axis15 Extreme auditorium, equipped with an approximately 65-foot tilted screen, 4K laser projection, Dolby Atmos immersive sound and Lux Box dine-in seating.
