If you applied paragraph styles to the dialog for each character then you could easily create a series of Tables of Contents to list each character's dialog (optionally including the page where it occurs).

You might even go so far as to associate an outline list level to each character so that you don't need to type the speakers name, just apply the style which includes the characters name as a paragraph prefix. See attached example where you can use Alt-Shift-Left or Right arrow to change between characters.
