    A couple of issues. First, to set the property on anonymous users, you need to change your profile config to enable it, like this:

      <system.web>
  <anonymousIdentification enabled="true"/>   
  <trust level="Medium"/>   
    <profile >
      <properties>
        <add name="Name" allowAnonymous="true" />
        <add name="Age" allowAnonymous="true" type="System.Int16"/>
      </properties>
    </profile>
    <compilation debug="true"/>
  </system.web>

    Second, you can't set the profile in Page_Load. It has to be set in PreInit. You can add the following to global.asax:

    protected void Application_PreRequestHandlerExecute(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    Page p = HttpContext.Current.Handler as Page;

    if (p != null)
    {
        ProfileCommon pb = HttpContext.Current.Profile as ProfileCommon;
        p.StyleSheetTheme = pb.Theme; // whatever theme is
    }
}
