Paul's email prompted me to look at my production history notes:
Toronto's Alumnae Theatre Company did indeed produce an adaptation
of Alice Monro's "The Progess of Love." The date was Feb 5-28,
1999—adapted by Guillaume Bernardi, as Paul says. (It won a
Professional Director's Award, an internal Alumnae-presented
award, for Bernardi.)<br>
<br>
As well, Alice Monro's <i>The Lives of Girls and Women</i> was
"Adapted for reading" by Francess Halpenny and Helen Dunlop for
Alumnae Theatre Company. The readings occurred Mar 1-6, 1983, also
at Alumnae's Studio Theatre. I'm not aware of this adaptation
receiving a production.<br>

I'm aware of one. A few years back there was a very innovative
and interesting adaptation of The Progress of Love, directed and
dramaturged by Guillaume Bernardi at the Alumni Theatre Studio
Space in Toronto, for which I'm told I coached one of the
performers in stiltwalking, though I have no recollection of
having done so. A friend at the Alum is turning up any info she
can find for me.

Think you may be thinking of adaptation of Carol Shield's
Larry's Party (music by Marek Norman.) He has never adapted
Munro.

Many thanks for the information about Marcia Johnson's
/Courting Johanna/, an adaptation of Munro's "Hateship,
Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage," directed by
Shelley Scott in Drama Department, University of
Lethbridge (Feb. 11-14, 2014!!!!!).
<br>
I wonder if there have been any other projects of this
type?
