Both, David's and Bobby's (without beep) solutions work perfectly for me
too.

The David's plot looks pretty illustrative.

It works perfectly here (with an error beep you can ignore), and this does
the same... without the beep:

Clear[f, g]
f[theta_][t_] := (1 - t)^theta
g[theta_] = Quiet@InverseFunction[f[theta]]

1 - #1^(1/theta) &
